Did you know Lena Del Rey once wrote a song for a James Bond movie? Here's what happened to it

In a fun and easy way, singer Lena Del Rey has revealed that once she wrote a title track for one of the James Bond films. But unfortunately, her song was not able to make it to the final movie.

Rey, a renowned singer, made a big revelation at the Ivor Novello Awards in London, where she was honoured with a special award for her immense contribution to the cinema.

Interacting at the backstage, the singer was asked if she would ever consider writing a song for a James Bond movie. Replying to this, as per BBC, she said, “I mean, how has that not happened yet?” 

Rey went on to sing a chorus of her song ''24'' from her 2015 album, Honeymoon, which she wrote for the 007 movie. “I wrote that for them,” the singer said.

The track was written for Daniel Craig’s fourth Bond film, Spectre. However, it was Sam Smith’s song, ''Writing’s On the Wall,'' that was finally selected for the movie. Sam won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2016.

Keeping her hope for the future, she went on to praise Smith, “Sam, you did a wonderful job.”

“One day, maybe...But I'm going to continue to do my little Nancy Sinatra thing every now and then and just pretend it's the title track.”

Rey isn't the one who has been rejected by the bond makers. Other musicians who have faced rejection are Radiohead's Man of War, Pulp, Blondie, Johnny Cage and KD Lang.
