Lana Del Rey to Sing Theme Song for James Bond Video Game 007: First Light
Lana Del Rey will sing the theme song for the upcoming James Bond video game 007: First Light. The Grammy-winning singer has wanted to contribute to the Bond franchise for years.
Lana Del Rey will perform the theme song for 007: First Light, the upcoming James Bond video game published by IO Interactive. The collaboration finally brings the "Summertime Sadness" singer into the Bond universe after years of trying.
Del Rey previously wrote a song called "24" for the 2015 Bond film Spectre, but movie executives rejected the track. Sam Smith's "Writing's on the Wall" was chosen instead for the film's theme.
The news emerged after fans discovered Del Rey had registered a new single. Reports suggest the theme song is called "First Light," matching the game's title.
007: First Light is being developed as part of the James Bond gaming franchise. Video games have become increasingly important for major entertainment properties, often featuring high-profile music collaborations similar to blockbuster movies.
This marks Del Rey's first official Bond theme after her previous song was rejected for the 2015 film Spectre. It shows how video games are becoming major entertainment platforms that attract top music artists.
The game 007: First Light will release with Del Rey's theme song, though no official date has been announced.
