Billie, who penned the number with her brother and usual co-writer Finneas O’Connell, begins the song accompanied by just a piano.
About a minute into the number, a synthesizer pipes in with a haunting snippet of John Barry’s classic Bond theme , written for Dr. No.
As the mournful track builds to a crescendo, a fuller orchestra joins in to give the vintage feel of such throwback bond tracks as Goldfinger and Diamonds Are Forever.
During the chorus she sings: ‘That I’d fallen for a lie . / You were never on my side. / Fool me once. Fool me twice. / How you dare, the paradise. / Now you’ll never see me cry. / There’s just no time to die. ‘ Swan song: No Time To Die is the 25 th installment in the franchise and will be Daniel Craig’s final outing as the seductive and ruthless secret agent
No Time To Die sticks to a staple theme of Bond songs and is performed from the perspective of a woman who has been romantically involved with 11.
‘Was I stupid to love you? / Was I reckless to help? / Was it obvious to everybody else? ‘ Billie wonders at the end of the first verse.
