The song will be titled "Writing's On The Wall", and as you can see its not the title of the movie.

The theme song to Bond movies has always been celebrated, with the opening sequence to the movies often seen as one of the best parts of the movie.

Sam Smith has a lot to live up to with artists sucj as Shirley Bassey, Paul McCartney and Wings, Tom Jones, Madonna and more recently Adele all having sung classic themes to Bond movies.

The one place that Bond themes have always had trouble with is getting to the top of the music charts, with Adeles Skyfall coming close with a number 2 spot, can Sam Smith buck this trend?
