Billie Eilish to Perform ‘No Time to Die’ Bond Song — Can She Win 007 Oscar Hat Trick?

The James Bond creative team has confirmed that Billie Eilish is set to perform the Bond theme song for the upcoming 007 tentpole “No Time to Die.” Eilish wrote the song with her brother and producer Finneas. At 18 years old, Eilish is the youngest musician to ever perform a Bond theme. Eilish follows in the footsteps of Adele and Sam Smith. Both Adele’s “Skyfall” (from “Skyfall”) and Smith’s “Writing’s on the Wall” (from “Spectre”) won the Oscar for Best Original Song. Can Eilish complete an Oscar hat trick for the Bond franchise? It’s one of the biggest questions facing the young performer now that she’s confirmed to be involved with “No Time to Die.”

The official synopsis for “No Time to Die” from MGM reads: “Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.”
