Adele's James Bond Theme 'Skyfall' Debuts Thursday

It's official: Adele is going 007. The singer-songwriter confirmed today that she has recorded the theme song for the upcoming James Bond "Skyfall" film, and it will be available for download this week.

The song will premiere on the 50th anniversary of the James Bond film franchise's debut, Friday, Oct. 5 at 0:07 in London time (or the less thematically appropriate 7:07 p.m. ET on Oct. 4). Fans can pre-order via iTunes now, then download the track after it officially debuts on Adele's website.

The "21" singer enlisted Paul Epworth to produce the track, which features a 77-piece orchestra and marks her first release since "21" debuted in January 2011.

"I was a little hesitant at first to be involved with the theme song for 'Skyfall,'" Adele said in a statement. "There's a lot of instant spotlight and pressure when it comes to a Bond song. But I fell in love with the script and Paul had some great ideas for the track and it ended up being a bit of a no brainer to do it in the end."
