The story behind the song

This song was written by Chris Cornell and David Arnold for the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale. The filmmakers wanted a strong male singer, and Cornell and Arnold aimed to create a theme that reflected James Bond's inexperience in the film and introduced Daniel Craig's grittier portrayal of the character. It serves as a replacement theme, focusing on the character's journey rather than the traditional "James Bond Theme." At its heart, the song embodies a raw, emotional introduction to a legend in the making.
