The name’s Eilish, Billie Eilish. Her 007 theme song “No Time to Die” for the James Bond film of the same title just landed at No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week (chart dated Feb. 29).
Eilish is the youngest Bond singer, and the five-time Grammy-winning artist collaborated with her brother/producer Finneas yet again for the eerie masterpiece.
“We’ve always wanted to write a James Bond theme song,” Finneas told the Billboard Pop Shop Podcast ahead of the song’s release. “The songs in the James Bond franchise have always been significant in their own right, even down to ‘Live and Let Die’ and ‘Goldfinger’ and then through to ‘Skyfall’ and ‘You Know My Name’ by Chris Cornell and ‘Another Way to Die’ by Jack White and Alicia Keys. Those are songs that have bore real importance to our songwriting lives for years.”

Check out the lyrics below.
I should’ve known
I’d leave alone
Just goes to show
That the blood you bleed
Is just the blood you owe
We were a pair
But I saw you there
Too much to bear
You were my life
But life is far away from fair
Was I stupid to love you?
Was I reckless to help?
Was it obvious to everybody else
That I’d fallen for a lie?
You were never on my side
Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise?
Now you’ll never see me cry
There’s just no time to die
I let it burn
You’re no longer my concern
Faces from my past return
Another lesson yet to learn
That I’d fallen for a lie
You were never on my side
Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise?
Now you’ll never see me cry
There’s just no time to die
No time to die
No time to die
Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise?
Now you’ll never see me cry
There’s just no time to die
