The theme song for the upcoming James Bond video game 007: First Light has been released. And in the tradition of its movie counterparts, the song is written and performed by a popular artist: Lana Del Ray. Del Ray wrote the song in collaboration with David Arnold, who previously composed the score for 5 James Bond films. Arnold made the following statement to coincide with the announcement of the song’s release:
The music of James Bond has always been a huge part of its identity. A title song has to tell us about the world we are about to enter into. It has to intrigue, excite, and beckon us in. This song joins a long line of genre defining songs, each one creating a benchmark of style that adds to the magnificent heritage that is ‘The Bond Song’. That’s why I was so excited to work with Lana, an artist who brought elegance, atmosphere, and her totally unique character to this piece, which I hope will open the world of Bond to a whole new audience.
007: First Light is the upcoming video game based on the 007 film franchise from developer IO Interactive, previously the developer of the Hitman series, in collaboration with Amazon MGM Studios. The game is a prequel of sorts, where players will play as a younger James Bond, navigating missions around the world. The song can also be streamed on different digital music platforms, including Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. 007: First Light will be released on May 27.
It was released as a lyric video on Lana Del Ray’s official YouTube channel, which can be viewed below:
