Fans of Lana Del Rey are buzzing with excitement over the possibility that she will provide the theme song for the upcoming video game 007: First Light. This speculation stems from a newly registered song titled “First Light” under her real name, Elizabeth Grant, with the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP). The connection to the iconic Bond franchise has sparked theories across social media platforms, particularly on Reddit.
Del Rey has previously ventured into the Bond universe, having created a song titled “24” for the film Spectre. Although that track was ultimately sidelined in favor of Sam Smith’s “Writing’s on the Wall,” the anticipation surrounding her potential return has only grown. The title “First Light” aligns closely with the game, prompting fans to wonder if this will finally be her chance to contribute an original Bond theme.
Connections to Gaming and Artistic Fulfillment
The speculation is further fueled by Del Rey’s known affection for video games. In a past interview with Mark Savage, she mentioned that her hit song “Video Games” was inspired by watching her then-boyfriend play World of Warcraft. This connection to gaming suggests that Del Rey’s involvement in the Bond project could be both an artistic fulfillment and a personal passion.
While the registration of “First Light” has fans excited, it is essential to consider that this might not necessarily correlate with the Bond game. Del Rey is set to release her upcoming album, Stove, early next year, and the song could potentially belong to that project instead. The album has experienced numerous name changes and delays, suggesting that she may be exploring multiple creative avenues simultaneously.
Anticipation Builds for 007: First Light
The release date for 007: First Light is scheduled for March 27, 2026. IO Interactive, the studio behind the game, has been providing players with progressively detailed insights ahead of its launch. As anticipation builds, fans may not have to wait long to discover whether Del Rey will indeed be the voice behind the theme song.
If the collaboration does not materialize, fans can still look forward to the release of Stove, which is expected to showcase her evolving artistry. Whether through a Bond theme or her latest album, Del Rey continues to captivate audiences, keeping them eager for her next move.
