Despite there being more than twenty James Bond movies, every single one has a different feel of its own. And what makes them even more special and unique are the opening theme songs that set the movies off. The entire song’s vibes matched with the movie’s overall theme end up making it memorable enough to be distinguished distinctly from all the others. Something similar happened on the sets ofSkyfall (2012).

Adele Wasn’t Sure If She Could Write The Perfect Song ForJames Bond
WhileDaniel Craigcouldn’t find a better song to match his movie’s theme, Adele, on the other hand, was unsure if she could create the song actually expected of her when she was getting on board. Recalling her hesitant reaction, director Sam Mendes said,
“She [Adele] came in very early before we started shooting and her main concern was ‘I write songs about myself, how can I make a Bond song?’ My answer was ‘just write a personal song’!”
As it turned out, theEasy on Meartist won everyone’s hearts with her fabulous voice coupled with captivatingly perfect lyrics. In fact, Daniel Craig liked it so much that he wanted her to sing the theme song for his next James Bond movie,Spectre. Adele, however, turned the offer down as she felt she couldn’t top herSkyfallsong record, and the theme song for the 2015 movie ended up being scored bySam Smith, with his songWritings on the Wall.
