Lana del Rey fans have figured out she’s doing the Bond theme for 007: First Light

It seems 007: First Light may be getting the same theme song treatment as the film franchise, and fans are theorizing Lana Del Rey is at the helm. It wouldn’t be the first time the “Summertime Sadness” singer wrote a song for a Bond project — she previously made the song “24” for Spectre, but Sam Smith’s “Writing’s on the Wall” was ultimately chosen instead.

The theory about Del Rey’s return to the James Bond universe has sprung from a newly registered song on ASCAP — the American Society of Composers Authors and Publishers — by artist Elizabeth Grant, Del Rey’s real name. The song is titled “First Light,” which has led to speculation on Reddit that the singer will finally have her time to shine with her own Bond theme.

Lana Del Rey working on the theme for 007: First Light makes sense for multiple reasons: For one, it would finally allow her to follow through on the idea of creating an original Bond song that she first explored with Spectre. But even outside that creative fulfillment, the singer has also always had some fondness for video games — years ago, a Mark Savage interview revealed that one of her biggest hits, “Video Games,” spawned from feeling cozy watching her boyfriend at the time play World of Warcraft.

It should be noted that there is a chance this new registration is only a coincidence. Lana Del Rey’s upcoming album Stove is slated to be released sometime early next year, and this song may be related to that project rather than the new James Bond game. However, that album has also gone through multiple name changes and delays, so it’s not out of the question that Del Rey would be working on other side projects while Stove continues its evolution.

Fans may not have that much longer to wait to find out if Lana Del Rey is indeed the source of the theme song. 007: First Light arrives March 27, 2026, and IO Interactive has been giving players progressively in-depth looks at the game ahead of its release, so more insight may arrive soon. If it doesn’t pan out, at least there’s always Stove to look forward to.
