Billie Eilish has now become a synonym for fame and success in the music industry. The pop sensation made her debut in 2015 with Ocean Eyes and there has been no looking back for her. With a whopping seven Grammy awards and an Oscar, Eilish has been ruling over people’s minds and hearts. In her career of eight years, the young singer has had several golden moments, but singing for a James Bond movie will always remain her biggest achievement.

Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas O’Connell were co-writers of the song No Time to Die. Written for the James Bond movie of the same name, the brother-sister duo took home the original-song Oscar award at the 94th annual Academy Awards earlier this year. As it is a special song for both Eilish and music lovers, the official Twitter handle of James Bond won over the internet by dropping a behind the scene video.

James Bond had a special wish for Billie Eilish this year

As people’s favorite pop singer Billie Eilish turned 21 on December 18, 2022, the social media handle of James Bond released a rare clip from her recording days from No Time To Die. In the short clip of 54 seconds, the Happier Than Ever singer could be seen trying different tunes and variations. Bond captioned the post, “Happy Birthday Billie Eilish. A rare behind-the-scenes insight into Billie’s recording sessions for NO TIME TO DIE.”

In the video, the young singer could also be heard saying, “Hummed the whole song. Kind of hummed a bunch of random stuff, just a few little notes, and did some verses and choruses. I just did them and forgot about them.”

It might surprise you that Billie Eilish was not the first choice for singing the title song for the iconic James Bond movie. The English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran was the one who was all set to bag the gig initially. He had revealed losing out on a once-in-a-lifetime offer following a change in the script, producers, and director of the film.
