9 Comments

When it comes to James Bond movies, everyone has a favorite theme song for the spy franchise. And with the 25th film in the series, comes a brand-new title track, and this time around, the opening song will performed by Billie Eilish, known for her breakout song "Bad Guy."

Revealed on James Bond's Twitter, Eilish wrote the theme to the upcoming movie along with her co-writer and brother Finneas. This marks a special occasion for the 007 series as Eilish is the youngest artist in history to write and perform the Bond theme song.

Eilish joins a group of iconic performers that kicked off each Bond movie, like Tom Jones, Madonna, Sheryl Crow, Adele, Duran Duran, and more. The score for the film will be composed by the legendary Hans Zimmer.

Back in December, the upcoming film got a new trailer, which will be directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga (True Detective). The film stars Daniel Craig as Bond, Ralph Fiennes as M, Ben Whishaw as Q, Naomie Harris as Miss Moneypenny, and Léa Seydoux as Madeleine Swan. Joining them for the first time will be Rami Malek, Billy Magnussen, and Ana de Armas.

No Time to Die arrives in theater in April 8.

It is a really depressing song?

Is it because this is 007’s funeral song?

Maybe this is the last 007 film before the franchise attempts to become more politically correct and tries to sell to newer younger generation?

Her music is utter tripe. I am expecting the song to hit the same low as Madonna's Die Another Day. Hell, it may even surpass Madge's effort to become the worst Bond theme tune out of all of them.

Because a teenager that was home schooled with zero life experience is surely the best pick to write a song with the gravitas and emotional depth needed for Daniel Craigs final Bond film. Embarrassing.

I didn't know who Billie Eilish was until the Van Halen clip got passed around. Now I think my knowledge of her existence has somehow made me terminally ill.

From Shirley Bassey to ...Billie Eilish. Wow.

Will James Bond do the flossing dance in the title sequence too?

@mrdinghat: You joke, but that could be a thing they do.
I mean afterall this movie is marketed and I believe even quoted verbatim by the writer that this is a "Bond film for the #Metoo era."

so they are trying desperately to draw a younger audience by any means and alienate older fans who did enjoy the womanizing Bond that we all knew and loved. Hence the Billie Eilish choice
So Fortnite dances wouldn't be too farfetched to find out of place in this film

Bojack Horseman with the horrible shower voice and entitled lyrics is what our current era is all about. Legit.

This is a default win since our actual shameful rep of the 21st, Cardi B, doesnt sing. Hope shes not too proud.
