Ed Sheeran revealed for the first time that he lost the contract to compose the theme song for the popular James Bond movie No Time To Die in 2021. After Ed Sheeran, the producer decided to choose Billie Eilish to become the wrote music for this movie. When revealing this, the male singer admitted he was very disappointed.

Specifically, the male singer said that the original director of the film, Danny Boyle, approached him for this music contract. However, Cary Joji Fukunaga was later chosen as the official director. This is also the time when Ed Sheeran “lost his job”.

“They changed the director, they changed the script and it was over,” Ed Sheeran shared on That Peter Crouch show, “We had all the meetings, I even started writing songs for movie”.

 

“I won’t pretend that this doesn’t hurt me. But if they invite me again, I will definitely accept,” the Shape Of You singer added.

Remember in 2020, after Billie Eilish was announced as the person responsible for singing the James Bond soundtrack, some opinions were concerned that the female singer was too young to be able to do this. In fact, the singers who performed the James Bond soundtrack are all great artists with long-standing names in the music industry such as Adele, Sam Smith…

However, Billie Eilish also completed her task excellently when bringing the inherent magical quality of his voice to the song. Billie Eilish is also the youngest artist in history to compose and perform the theme song for a movie about spy 007.
