"I'm Not That Girl" is a showtune from the musical

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'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.
