Music sensation Billie Eilish has been confirmed to be joining a prestigious list of artists by recording the next James Bond theme song.

No Time to Die director Cary Fukunaga is currently knee-deep in post-production on the latest movie, with legendary composer Hans Zimmer also in the studio working on the score.

And after rumours linking her to the theme song, it's been confirmed that Eilish will perform the theme song to No Time to Die.

She's written the song with her brother FINNEAS and, at 18 years old, Eilish is the youngest artist in history to write and record a James Bond theme song.

"It feels crazy to be a part of this in every way. To be able to score the theme song to a film that is part of such a legendary series is a huge honour. James Bond is the coolest film franchise ever to exist. I'm still in shock," Eilish said.

Producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli called the song "incredibly powerful and moving", adding that it has "been impeccably crafted to work within the emotional story of the film".

Since Daniel Craig began playing the 00 agent, the likes of late rocker Chris Cornell, Jack White and Alicia Keys, Adele and Sam Smith have all produced theme songs for the franchise, but Eilish's could be something entirely different.

Rumours of her involvement have been doing the rounds for a little while, but they stepped up a notch after the singer uploaded several images of Bond girls to her Instagram Story today (January 14).

These included Eva Green's Vesper Lynd (Casino Royale), Halle Berry's Jinx (Die Another Day) and Léa Seydoux's Madeleine Swann (Spectre) – who's back for No Time to Die.

No Time to Die, the 25th James Bond movie, has a UK release date of April 2, 2020, and opens in the US on April 10, 2020. All the previous Bond movies are available on DVD or Blu-ray.
