Lana Del Rey releases cinematic Bond theme '007 First Light'

Lana Del Rey is embracing her "Video Games" style.

On Thursday (April 15), Del Rey delighted her audience by unveiling a new track titled "First Light" — which will be the designated theme song for the forthcoming James Bond game 007 First Light.

For this cinematic, orchestral track, Del Rey collaborated with David Arnold, who has composed music for five Bond movies.

"No shock to see you drawing near the sun / Much like a moth to flame," sings Del Rey, 40. "Folks attempt to halt you, while destiny observes you / Longing just to learn if you'll navigate life like a game."

In the announcement press release, Arnold praised the "Summertime Sadness" singer for bringing a refined touch and mood to the song that seems to fit the Bond legacy perfectly — while "offering something new for the next generation."

“The Bond theme marks a special storytelling opportunity; it needs to encapsulate magnitude, drama, and mystery simultaneously. Having engaged with this musical tradition, I grasp the importance of celebrating its legacy while letting it progress," he mentioned.

According to the press release, the game introduces "an exciting new perspective with a revamped origin tale," and it narrates the journey of "a young James Bond at the start of his espionage career."

007 First Light is expected to be out on May 27.

Before "First Light," Del Rey had shared several tracks for films such as 2013's "Young and Beautiful" for The Great Gatsby, 2014's "Once Upon a Dream" for Maleficent, 2014's "Big Eyes" and "I Can Fly" for Big Eyes and "Don't Call Me Angel" for 2019's Charlie's Angels.

Prior to the video game song, Del Rey unleashed a single titled "White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter" from her forthcoming album Stove. 

The song was co-written with her sister Chuck Grant, her brother-in-law Jason Pickens, and her spouse Jeremy Dufrene.

The artist has not yet confirmed a launch date for Stove. Nonetheless, she's shared singles "Bluebird" and "Henry, Come On."
