Lana Del Rey, the popular American singer and songwriter, has created the theme song for the new James Bond game, 007 First Light.
The song “First Light,” the album’s namesake, is now available on streaming platforms – you can give it a listen today!
Lana Del Rey wrote and performed this song with David Arnold, and it truly captures the classic James Bond sound. It feels like something you’d hear during the opening credits of a Bond film – it really hits the mark.
The opening cinematic for the new 007 game, First Light, will be revealed live tomorrow, April 17th, at 12pm Pacific Time / 8pm British Summer Time. You can watch it on the game’s official social media channels.
IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak is thrilled to see Lana Del Rey and David Arnold collaborate on the new James Bond game. He says their work immediately captures the classic Bond sound while also feeling new and unique for ‘007 First Light.’ Abrak believes this marks a significant return for Bond to gaming, and the high quality of the theme song makes the moment even more memorable.
Here’s what composer David Arnold had to say about the song:
Music is central to the James Bond experience. The opening title song sets the stage, giving us a glimpse into the film’s world and drawing us in with its energy and mystery. This new song continues a tradition of iconic Bond themes, each one establishing a unique style and contributing to the series’ incredible musical legacy. I was thrilled to collaborate with Lana, whose artistry brought a sophisticated mood and distinctive voice to the track, and I believe it will introduce Bond to a new generation of fans.
Lana Del Rey has long wanted to create a theme song for a James Bond film. She even wrote a song for Spectre, but it wasn’t chosen – Sam Smith’s song was used instead. Now, she’s achieved her goal.
The new James Bond game, 007 First Light, is launching on May 27, 2026. We’ve revealed the theme song – what are your thoughts? Share your opinions in the comments below!
