Billie Eilish’s “No Time To Die” is getting a second life with the release of the official music video on Thursday.
The title song for the 25th James Bond film was released back in February ahead of the film’s scheduled April 10th opening. But, weeks later, the movie was bumped to November due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
Eilish announced last January via Instagram that she recorded the theme. "No Time To Die JAMES BOND. AND I AM SINGING THE THEME SONG," she wrote. "WHAAT"
At 18, Eilish is the youngest artist in the history of the 007 franchise to record a theme and joined an impressive list that includes Madonna, Tina Turner, Duran Duran and Paul McCartney. Adele performed the Skyfall opener and Sam Smith recorded the theme to Spectre – and both won Best Original Song at the Academy Awards.
“It feels crazy to be a part of this in every way,” Eilish said, in a release, in February. “To be able to score the theme song to a film that is part of such a legendary series is a huge honour.”
The singer penned the song with her brother FINNEAS, who produced it. Johnny Marr of The Smiths plays guitar on the track, which features orchestral arrangements by famed composer Hans Zimmer and British conductor Matt Dunkley.
No Time To Die opens Nov. 20.
