James Bond Game: Lana Del Rey to Sing Theme on 007 First Light
Del Rey and David Arnold wrote the Bond-esque track, which includes a snippet of the classic James Bond theme, for IO Interactive’s new game.
- On Thursday, April 16, 2026, singer Lana Del Rey released 'First Light,' the official theme song for the upcoming video game 007: First Light from developer IO Interactive.
- Del Rey collaborated with composer David Arnold, who previously scored Bond films including Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, bringing what Arnold called 'elegance, atmosphere and her totally unique character' to the piece.
- Previously, Del Rey submitted a track for the 2015 film Spectre, though producers chose Sam Smith's 'Writing's On the Wall' instead; she had hoped to contribute 'one day' to the franchise.
- Developer IO Interactive will release the game on May 27, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series, with more than three million fans having added the title to online wishlists.
- The official title sequence with Del Rey's theme will be revealed on Friday, April 17, featuring actor Patrick Gibson as a young James Bond alongside singer Lenny Kravitz, who plays villain Bawma.
