Listen: Sam Smith’s Bond theme ‘The Writing’s On The Wall’
By Nick Bond
It’s here – Sam Smith has just debuted his much-anticipated theme to the new James Bond film.
The Writing’s On The Wall will play over the opening credits of James Bond: Spectre, released in cinemas in the UK on October 26. Co-written with Jimmy Napes and produced by Disclosure, the song is as elegant and dramatic as you’d expect from a Bond theme – give it a listen via Spotify below:
Smith has this morning tweeted out his thanks to fans, saying he’d been “dreaming of this moment for a long time”:
I have been dreaming of this moment for a long long time.

It’s certainly been a bumper week for pop (did someone say ‘Q4’?), with Sia dropping her new single Alive yesterday (written with Adele, no less) and Little Mix premiering their 60s girl group homage Love Me Like You this morning.
