-"'''I'm Not That Girl'''" is a showtune from the musical ''[[Wicked (musical)|Wicked]]'', based on the novel, "''[[Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West]]''", by [[Gregory Maguire]]. It was composed by [[Stephen Schwartz (composer)|Stephen Schwartz]], originally recorded by [[Idina Menzel]] (original song) and [[Kristin Chenoweth]] (reprise) on November 10, 2003, and released on December 16, 2003.  It is a [[Solo (music)|solo]] sung by the main character of the show, [[Elphaba Thropp]] (the future [[Wicked Witch of the West]] in ''[[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz]]'') in the first act and [[Glinda the Good Witch|Glinda]] in the reprise in the second act.
-==Context in ''Wicked''==
-The song is performed midway through the first act. During the song, Elphaba expresses her love for the Winkie prince [[Fiyero]], the most popular boy at Shiz and [[Glinda|Glinda's]] boyfriend. She accepts that she knows that nothing can ever happen between them, as she 'wasn't born for the rose and the pearl', and is an unpopular girl with green skin. She also mentions that Fiyero has feelings for her, though this was unconfirmed. This song is reprised by Glinda in the musical's second act when Fiyero leaves her for Elphaba.
