Lana Del Rey fans are buzzing with excitement as speculation mounts that she may be recording the theme song for the upcoming video game, 007: First Light. The theory gained traction after a song titled “First Light” was registered with the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) under Del Rey’s real name, Elizabeth Grant. This would mark another opportunity for the acclaimed artist to contribute to the James Bond franchise, having previously penned “24” for the film Spectre, although her song was ultimately not selected.
The registration of “First Light” has sparked discussions among fans on platforms like Reddit, who believe this could finally be Del Rey’s chance to write an original Bond theme. The artist’s unique style aligns well with the cinematic universe that Bond represents, and her previous experience with the franchise adds to the intrigue.
Del Rey’s connection to video games also plays a role in this speculation. In a past interview, she shared that her hit song “Video Games” was inspired by cozy moments watching her then-boyfriend play World of Warcraft. This fondness for gaming could make her involvement with 007: First Light even more fitting.
While there is excitement over the possibility of Del Rey’s involvement, it is essential to consider that this registration may not be related to the Bond project. The singer’s upcoming album, titled Stove, is expected to be released in early 2024. The song registration could very well pertain to this new album, which has faced several delays and name changes throughout its development.
Fans will not have to wait long to learn more about 007: First Light, which is set to launch on March 27, 2026. The game’s developer, IO Interactive, has been steadily revealing details about the game, keeping players engaged and eager for additional updates.
If the speculation surrounding Del Rey does not materialize, there is still anticipation for her album Stove, which promises to deliver new music regardless of her potential role in the Bond universe. As fans await confirmation, the excitement surrounding both the game and the artist continues to grow.
