Billie Eilish has been chosen to write and record the theme for the upcoming James Bond movie ‘No Time To Die’.
“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. James Bond is the coolest film franchise ever to exist. I’m still in shock,” Billie Eilish said in a statement.
