Speaking to Radio 1's Nick Grimshaw, Smith said that he composed the theme in twenty minutes. “I got called into the office with Barbara Broccoli and Sam Mendes and they gave me the script, I read the script... they said ‘have a go at the song’. It’s the quickest I’ve ever written a song — it took twenty minutes and they loved it! I love the song so much”.

Spectre is due for release on 26th October.
