Billie Eilish releases new Bond theme ‘No Time to Die’ on Spotify and Apple Music

Grammy-winning singer wrote and performed the music for the forthcoming 25th Bond film

Billie Eilish has unveiled her 007 theme “No Time to Die“ ahead of the release of the latest instalment starring Daniel Craig.

The track, which Eilish previously revealed was a ballad and was written and performed by the 18-year-old, was released on various streaming platforms including Spotify and Apple Music.

It features classic elements of the most memorable Bond themes including a slow build; a dark, shivery theme; and dramatic orchestration.

Fans have already been comparing the theme both to Shirley Bassey’s “Diamonds Are Forever” and Adele’s “Skyfall”.

Lyrics include: “I’d should have known/ I’d leave alone/ Just goes to show/ That the blood you bleed/ Is just the blood you own” and “We were a pair/ But I saw you there/ Too much to bear/ You were my life, but life is far away from fair.”

Stream the track on Spotify here. No Time to Die is released in cinemas on 3 April.
