After dropping the song in February, American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish on Friday (local time) dropped the video of `No Time to Die,` the theme song from the James Bond film of the same name.
However, within a couple of weeks, the Daniel Craig-starring film`s release was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. With the film`s release scheduled for November, Eilish has dropped the song`s video, which has presumably been completed for several months.
The `Lovely` singer shared a glimpse of the video on Twitter and released the song over Youtube. She wrote, "Billie Eilish - `No Time To Die` Music video out now #NoTimeToDie."
As a treat to Eilish and `James Bond` fans, the Daniel Kleinman-directed clip interweaves footage of Eilish with scenes taken from the film. According to Variety, the song was produced by Eilish`s brother, Finneas, along with Stephen Lipson and orchestral arrangements by Hans Zimmer and Matt Dunkley, and guitar from Smiths co-founder Johnny Marr.
As reported by Variety, Eilish, who at 18 is the youngest artist to write and record a James Bond theme song, said, "It feels crazy to be a part of this in every way. To be able to score the theme song to a film that is part of such a legendary series is a huge honour."
Finneas added, "Writing the theme song for a Bond film is something we`ve been dreaming about doing our entire lives. There is no more iconic pairing of music and cinema than the likes of `Goldfinger` and `Live and Let Die.` We feel so so lucky to play a small role in such a legendary franchise, long live 007."
Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, the film`s producers, said, "Billie and Finneas have written an incredibly powerful and moving song for `No Time To Die, which has been impeccably crafted to work within the emotional story of the film."
