Spectre Theme Song

"The pressure to deliver a Bond song that stands against all the rest feels quite intense," said Sam Smith, whose new James Bond theme song, Writing's On The Wall, was released September 25. Sam added movie's director Sam Mendes had a say over the song's lyrics and made sure that Bond "didn't sound weak, that he still sounded powerful"

"Adele was Daniel Craig's first choice to record the theme song and Sam Mendes (director of SPECTRE) was 50-50 over whether to use her or a new voice. Filmmakers were prepared to offer millions, but Adele was never up for it. How do you top a worldwide hit like Skyfall anyway? It was too big a risk"

"I'm so relieved to actually talk about this. This has been a top secret mission of my own. I got called into the office with (producer) Barbara Broccoli and (director) Sam Mendes and they gave me the script, I read the script. They said, 'Have a go at the song'. It's the quickest I've ever written a song"

"This is one of the highlights of my career. I am honoured to finally announce that I will be singing the next Bond theme song. I am so excited to be a part of this iconic British legacy and join an incredible line up of some of my biggest musical inspirations," he wrote

"It's definitely not me," Sam Smith was quoted as saying

Bond star Daniel Craig has reportedly "asked her to return to sing the new theme"

Award winning singer Adele had performed the theme for 2012 film Skyfall, for which she also received a Grammy in Best Song Written for Visual Media category
