Sam Smith Is Recording The New Bond Theme

It's called 'Writing's On The Wall'

Ah, the tangled tale of Sam Smith and the James Bond theme.

Only last week, the singer appeared on Jo Whiley's Radio 2 show and denied any involvement, saying he was "definitely not" going to get on board.

A matter of days later, Sam Smith has down a cheeky about-turn and confirmed that he definitely will be recording the theme song for new James Bond film Spectre.

Speaking to Radio 1's Nick Grimshaw the singer said: "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 Barbara Broccoli and 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 – it took 20 minutes… and they loved it!"

Co-written with frequent partner Jimmy Napes the track is titled 'Writing's On The Wall' and will be released on September 25th.
