Lana Del Rey reveals she penned a James Bond theme song for Daniel Craig's penultimate run in...

Lana Del Rey shared that she created an anthem for the James Bond movie Spectre, notwithstanding, the production team opted for Sam Smith's Writing's On The Wall.

The songstress from America, who is 38 years old, penned the tune that appeared in her album "Honeymoon" released in 2015, specifically for the movie franchise with Daniel Craig as the iconic agent James Bond, which was his second to last appearance in the series.

During the Ivor Novello Awards ceremony on Thursday, Lana received the Special International Award. When the BBC inquired why she hasn't ever performed a theme for the James Bond franchise, she provided her response.

Lana responded with surprise, "I can't believe that hasn't occurred yet. I specifically composed [24] for their use." Eventually, the song was included in her fourth recorded studio album, Honeymoon.

She went on to say, "Sam, you did an exceptional job. Perhaps someday... However, I will continue doing my own version of Nancy Sinatra's music every so often and imagine that it's the main theme."

Lana Del Rey, who is currently 38 years of age, recently disclosed that she composed a tune intended to serve as the theme song for the James Bond movie titled Spectre. However, unfortunately, it was turned down and not used. Instead, Sam Smith's Writing's On The Wall was selected for the film.

The musician from the United States composed the song '24' specifically for Daniel Craig's second-to-last performance as the fictional British secret agent, 007 (who is shown in a promotional image for the 2015 film, "Spectre").

Upon being asked by BBC, Raye, a British individual who received the Songwriter of the Year award with Amazon Music during that evening, remarked about Lana saying, 'She possesses the ideal vibe for it.'

The individual who won the BRIT Award six times and is now 26 years old expressed that "I sense she would greatly enjoy it - and I believe it should happen at some point."

She described herself by saying, "If they ever asked me, I would eagerly agree. I am unsure of how those opportunities arise, but I would thoroughly enjoy it."

Daniel's most recent movie playing the character of Bond was in 2021's No Time To Die, which is also currently the last James Bond feature film. The theme song of the movie shares the same title. It was performed by the talented young artist Billie Eilish, who at the tender age of 17, achieved the youngest ever recording artist to do so.

At the event held in Grosvenor House, Bruce Springsteen was recognized with the Academy Fellowship, making him the inaugural American to receive this commendation.

During the event, Sir Paul McCartney introduced the seventy-four-year-old nine-time Oscar winner. He playfully poked fun at the Boss.

At 81 years of age, Paul made a quip indicating that the award recipient couldn't be more appropriate, unless it were perhaps Bob Dylan.

The story goes on: 'Maybe Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Beyoncé, or even Taylor Swift... The possibilities are endless!'

Paul also made a humorous comment saying: 'He is recognized as the working man of America, but he has confessed that he has never put in a single day of work.'

Bruce has the distinction of being the initial recipient of the Academy Fellowship who is not of British origin. He has admitted to feeling deeply grateful for the acknowledgement.

Lana later disclosed that her composition for the Bond film didn't make the cut and was replaced by Sam Smith's track Writing's On The Wall.

The famous musician expressed: 'Every part of this nation has embraced me with open arms, and I will forever be thankful for this kindness.'

The Ivor Novello Awards are a recognition ceremony that celebrates songwriters and composers. They are named in honor of Ivor Novello, a renowned entertainer from Wales.

Every year in London, the Ivors Academy - which was once known as the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers, and Authors - has been giving these awards out since 1956.

The accolades are given out during two yearly events called The Ivors and The Ivors Composer Awards.

The Ivors are the sole event on the musical schedule that doesn't get swayed by publishers and record companies. Instead, they're assessed and given out by fellow writers.
