Billie Eilish, the 18-year-old music superstar who broke records by winning four major Grammy Awards just a few weeks ago, has added another line to her already-impressive resumé: she’s officially the youngest person to ever sing a theme song for a James Bond movie. And this afternoon, her song – which, like the new movie itself, is called No Time to Die – has been released globally online. Listen to it below.

Eilish, who recently performed a deep, soulful cover of The Beatles’ “Yesterday” during the In Memoriam segment at the Academy Awards, made headlines last month when it was confirmed that she would be performing the theme song for No Time to Die, the first James Bond film directed by Cary Joji Fuknaga (True Detective season one, Beasts of No Nation) and the final entry for franchise star Daniel Craig, who’s ending his tenure as the actor who has held that iconic role for the longest period of time.
Even if you consider yourself old and out of touch with today’s music, chances are high that you’ve heard some of Eilish’s songs if you’ve been in proximity to a radio over the past year. She’s practically the biggest thing in music right now, winning Grammys for Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist. She started out releasing music on SoundCloud, and became a huge deal when her album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? debuted in March of last year. Against all odds, she broke the record for most simultaneously charting Hot 100 songs by a female artist, with all but one of her songs from that album charting on the list at the same time. You may know her best from songs like “Bad Guy” and “Everything I Wanted,” which you can listen to below:
