Lana Del Rey's new Bond song First Light - A musical comeback!

There's exciting news in the world of gaming and music that will make fans' hearts beat faster. Lana Del Rey has registered a new song titled "First Light," and the rumor mill is abuzz: Could this song be the theme song for the upcoming James Bond video game "007: First Light"? This reports DualShockers. The song was registered with the American Society for Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) under her real name, Elizabeth Grant.

Lana Del Rey is considered not only a talented singer, but also a strong contender for the Bond theme, similar to previous artists such as Adele, Sam Smith and Billie Eilish. In fact, she had already written a song called “24 Hours” for the film “Spectre,” but it wasn’t used. In a recent interview with the BBC, she hinted that she still has an interest in singing a Bond song.

The game “007: First Light”

The game itself, according to NME, is designed as a linear action-adventure prequel that explores James Bond's early years as an agent in MI6. Publication is targeted for March 27, 2026. Fans can look forward to exploring iconic locations from the Bond films, including 'James Bond Island' in Phuket, Thailand. This creates a special connection to our region and could further stimulate interest in local conditions.

Players can look forward to an exciting story in which Patrick Gibson plays agent James Bond, supported by Priyanga Burford as M, Alastair Mackenzie as Q and Kiera Lester as Miss Moneypenny. New characters will also enrich the game, including Noemie Nakia as Miss Roth and Lennie James as Bond's mentor John Greenway.

A musical secret?

However, there is a bit of confusion about the theme song for “007: First Light.” The unreleased song "First Light" was discovered in Lana Del Rey's ASCAP database and could potentially be related not only to the game, but also to her upcoming tenth studio album, "Stone," due out in January 2026. The artist's previous work has been through Sony and Universal, and her musical development therefore remains exciting.

So as the anticipation for the game and the music grows, the question arises: Will “First Light” enrich the classic Bond soundtrack and finally add Lana Del Rey to the ranks of legendary Bond song performers? Pocket Tactics states that all major James Bond films have a musical centerpiece, and Lana Del Rey is seen as an ideal candidate to continue this trend.

Well, if that isn't the perfect combination of gaming and music! It remains exciting to see what the coming months will bring us. Let's keep our eyes and ears open for more information that may be circulating soon!
