Billie Eilish’s music video for “No Time To Die” is finally here!
Nearly eight months after releasing the James Bond theme song, the pop star officially premiered the long-awaited visual for the track on Thursday (October 1). “No Time To Die,” titled after the 25th Bond flick of the same name, was co-written by Eilish and her brother Finneas, who also produced the song.
The 18-year-old, the youngest musician to ever record atheme song for the spy thriller franchise, accompanied the moody production with a black-and-white visual, which finds the teen star performing alone at a microphone beneath a dim spotlight. The 4-minute music video also pans in and out with several intense and action-packed scenes from the upcoming movie, which stars Daniel Craig in the titular role.
“I should have known/ I’d leave alone/ Just goes to show/ That the blood you bleed is just the blood you owe,” Elish sings on the emotional piano melody. “You were never on my side/ Fool me once, fool me twice/ Are you death or paradise?/ Now you’ll never see me cry/ There’s just no time to die.”
For the brother-sister duo, recording the Bond theme song was a dream come true. “It feels crazy to be a part of this in every way,” the singer-songwriter told Variety. “To be able to score the theme song to a film that is part of such a legendary series is a huge honor. James Bond is the coolest film franchise ever to exist. I’m still in shock.”
Eilish’s Bond theme song follows some pretty powerhouse predecessors, including Adele (“Skyfall”), Sam Smith (“Writing’s On The Wall”), and Paul McCartney (“Live and Let Die”).
