Ed Sheeran Gets ‘Hurt’ After His James Bond Theme Song Scrapped For Billie Eilish

He keeps getting chills.

Ed Sheeran revealed that it “hurts” to see his James Bond song shelved for Billie Eilish’s hit “No Time To Die.”

Hit maker “Shape of You” said he had “already begun” writing a song when he was suddenly replaced by a seven-time Grammy Award-winning teenage superstar.

“They changed directors and then they just changed scripts and that’s it. We had all the meetings, I started writing this, “the 31-year-old said in”Peter Crouch’s podcast“.

But Sheeran is still hopeful.

When asked if he would still be willing to sing the Bond theme song in the future, it was clear he would.

“Yes, of course,” he added. I won’t pretend it didn’t hurt that I didn’t, but yes, I would.

“I think eventually as an English singer you will have to record a Bond song eventually,” said the singer. “If they came back, I’d say” Yes, of course. “

Eilish’s official theme song for the hit song “There is no time to die” made her the youngest artist to ever write a song for the 007 series.

The hit song won an Oscar in 2022 for “Best Original Song” and a Grammy Award for “Best Song Written for Visual Media.”

Eilish joins other superstars who have written songs for the James Bond films with Daniel Craig, including Chris Cornell (“You Know My Name” from “Casino Royale”), Adele (“Skyfall”), Jack White and Alicia Keys (“Another Way to Die” for “Quantum of Solace”) and Sam Smith (“Writing’s on the Wall” for “Specter”).

Eilish wrote the song with her 22-year-old brother and musical collaborator Finneas O’Connell, with orchestral arrangements by renowned Oscar-winning composer and winner Hans Zimmer and British conductor Matt Dunkley. The Smiths legend Johnny Marr plays guitar on the song.
