Copenhagen, Denmark – Thursday, April 16th, 2026 – IO Interactive, the award-winning developer and publisher behind the globally acclaimed HITMAN franchise, and Amazon MGM Studios announced today that multi-platinum selling and award-winning singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey will perform the official title song for 007 First Light, the upcoming video game developed and published by IO Interactive, featuring a reimagined origin story of James Bond. The title song for the upcoming 007 video game has been written and composed by Lana Del Rey & David Arnold, marking the return of the composer to the Bond franchise. The song and title sequence will be showcased for the first time on 007 First Light’s official channels on Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, Steam, and X.
Lana Del Rey is recognized as one of the greatest singer songwriters of her generation. She has created a truly unique aesthetic. With 007 First Light’s title song, Lana brings the James Bond universe into her world, re-defining the classic genre and creating her own musical interpretation for the game’s reimagined origin story.
“It’s a joy to watch two extraordinary talents like Lana Del Rey and David Arnold combine forces, the result feels instantly ‘Bond’ while still bringing a fresh identity for 007 First Light. Bond’s return to gaming is a landmark moment for us at IO Interactive, and having a title song of this quality makes it all the more unforgettable,” highlighted Hakan Abrak, CEO at IO Interactive.
David Arnold’s contribution to the title song as both co-writer and composer marks a significant moment for the franchise. Having helped define the modern musical identity of James Bond across five consecutive films, David Arnold’s involvement reinforces 007 First Light’s deep connection to Bond’s heritage.
“The Bond theme is a unique storytelling moment; it has to capture scale, drama, and intrigue all at once. Having been part of that musical lineage, I understand how important it is to honor its heritage while allowing it to evolve. Lana brought an elegance and atmosphere to the song that felt perfectly suited to continuing that tradition while introducing something fresh for a new era” stated David Arnold.
The collaboration was conceived by producer Gabriel Moszkowski from Media W, who brought Lana Del Rey and David Arnold together to create the next musical chapter in Bond history.
007 First Light presents a bold new take with a reimagined origin story, following a young James Bond at the very beginning of his journey in the world of espionage.
