Lana Del Rey Unveils ‘First Light,’ Theme for 007: First Light

The pairing with veteran composer David Arnold ties the new game to the film series’ musical lineage.

Overview

  • Del Rey released First Light on Thursday with an official lyric video, and the track is now streaming on major platforms.
  • The song was written with five‑time Bond film composer David Arnold, whose return reinforces the classic 007 sound.
  • IO Interactive says the game’s title sequence featuring the track was slated to premiere Friday on the official 007 First Light channels.
  • 007: First Light launches May 27 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version due in summer 2026, and it follows a 26‑year‑old Bond at the start of his MI6 career.
  • The project features Patrick Gibson as Bond and Lenny Kravitz as the villain Bawma, and early reactions to the song range from praise for its Bond feel to critiques calling it derivative, including a negative PC Gamer take.
