Pop icon Lana Del Rey may be stepping into the world of James Bond music once again, this time not for a movie but for an upcoming video game. Fans are speculating that Del Rey is behind the theme song for 007: First Light, set for release in March 2026.
First Light Track Registered
Reddit users recently noticed that a track titled “First Light” was registered with the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) under Del Rey’s legal name, Elizabeth Grant. The listing also names Universal Music Corporation as the publisher, fueling speculation that the song could be tied to IO Interactive’s new Bond game.
While there’s no official confirmation, the title and timing have sparked excitement among fans.
Lana Del Rey’s Previous Bond Connection
This isn’t Del Rey’s first brush with the Bond franchise. Back in 2015, her song “24” was reportedly considered for the Spectre theme before Sam Smith’s “Writing’s on the Wall” was selected. In a 2024 BBC News interview, Del Rey confirmed, “I wrote that for them,” referring to the Spectre project.
Fans are now hopeful that 007: First Light could be her long-awaited Bond moment.
About the Game
Developed by IO Interactive, the studio behind the Hitman series, 007: First Light is a major reboot of the James Bond gaming franchise. Historically, several Bond games have featured original theme songs by top artists, so a track by Lana Del Rey would continue this tradition.
Some fans also speculate that “First Light” could appear on Del Rey’s upcoming album Stove, expected to release in 2026, adding another layer of excitement.
While nothing is confirmed, the combination of Del Rey’s cinematic musical style and the Bond franchise’s iconic themes has fans eagerly anticipating what could be a perfect match.
