Billie Eilish has discussed the creative process behind her theme song for upcoming James Bond blockbuster No Time To Die, explaining she and her brother Finneas – who acts as producer and co-songwriter – wanted to 'keep our own thing in there' and offer 'something new' while also 'honouring Bond'.
Speaking to James King on The Official James Bond Podcast, the 19-year-old pop sensation also revealed that for her and her sibling, 24, writing a Bond theme was 'a dream we never thought would happen'.
Billie, who is the youngest person to record a theme song for the franchise, shared a sweet anecdote, telling film critic James: 'It's always been a subconscious thing we wanted to do. I remember years ago Finneas wrote something and my mum being like ''oh my god that sounds like Bond'' and we'd all be so excited.'
