"You Know My Name" is the theme song of the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale, performed past American musician Chris Cornell, who wrote and produced it jointly with David Arnold, the soundtrack'south composer. The picture producers chose Cornell because they wanted a potent male singer. Cornell and Arnold tried to make the song a replacement theme for the character instead of the "James Bond theme" reflecting the amanuensis's inexperience in Casino Royale, as well as an introduction to Daniel Craig'due south grittier and more emotional portrayal of Bond.

The track was leaked onto the Internet on September 20, 2006, and later released as an official single on November 13, 2006 through Interscope Records. It charted in many countries, notably peaking at No. 7 on the UK singles chart.[one] Information technology sold 148,000 copies in 2006 in the UK,[1] and has sold 323,000 digital copies and garnered 3.5 million streams in the U.S. as of 2017.[2] Reviews of the vocal were positive; it won the Satellite Laurels and the World Soundtrack Award, and was nominated for a Grammy Award. Information technology was not included in the Casino Royale soundtrack, but appeared on Cornell's second solo album, Acquit On.

Composition and recording [edit]

Lia Vollack, Sony Pictures's President of Music, called Chris Cornell inviting him to make a song for the new Bond flick, which would "reflect the dramatic new direction of James Bond", with a "strong male person singer".[3] Cornell idea it was a strange offering, considering that he was American, and causeless he would perform a secondary song instead of the main theme.[iv] Cornell declared he liked the Bond movies, particularly the ones with Sean Connery,[3] but that he "wasn't really a big fan of the last several movies". But Daniel Craig's casting as James Bond intrigued him, and he decided to accept. He then went to Prague to visit the pic's shooting location, and was impressed with its emotional content when he was shown a rough cutting.[5] In Prague he also met the film'due south composer, David Arnold, who suggested writing a song "that echoed the moving-picture show score".[3]

The composers started their writing separately, Cornell in his flat in Paris, and Arnold in his house in London.[vi] [seven] Cornell said, "It is difficult, I recall, to write lyrics for a grapheme, and then really I just kind of wandered effectually for most a calendar month non thinking nigh information technology too much, until I sort of formulated some idea of a mode that I could approach it, where I'thou kind of relating to what's in the character in the movie. And because this item Bond is very edgy, simply as well has a lot of emotional depth, it's a lot easier."[eight] Later the two musicians met to share their ideas, and co-ordinate to Arnold "it was almost similar nosotros wrote 2 parts of the aforementioned song."[half-dozen] Cornell wrote lyrics, to which Arnold added some lines and later music.[3] Some of Arnold's ideas included the song'southward title, the heavy introduction, and "having the same genetic material every bit the Bond theme, but in a different gild and in a different shape".[vi]

Later on a demo of the song was approved by the pic's producers,[vii] both musicians recorded the total version in AIR Studios London.[3] Cornell and Arnold recorded the guitar and bass parts themselves and hired a session musician for the drums. They were finished by the fourth dimension Casino Royale wrapped its master photography on July 21, 2006, and Arnold played it at the wrap party. Afterwards he mixed in the orchestral parts.[6]

Speaking to the movie music fan site Maintitles, Arnold said he wanted "You Know My Proper name" to be a substitute for the James Bond theme, to correspond Bail'south immaturity. The vocal's motif is heard throughout the picture show, and the archetype theme plays but during the terminate credits to signal the end of his graphic symbol arc.[9] Arnold felt the song should tie closer to the score, and have the "DNA of the James Bond music".[vii] The musical arrangement tried to create "the right alloy of rock aggression and sophisticated instrumentation",[10] with Cornell describing information technology equally "more upwards-tempo and a trivial more aggressive than any other Bond theme has been, maybe since Paul McCartney's 'Live and Let Dice'."[11]

"I (wanted) an orchestra. I didn't want to exercise a song for a James Bond film and not have it sound somewhat like a James Bond song."

Chris Cornell[12]

Cornell stated that the biggest two influences on "You lot Know My Name" were Tom Jones, who performed the theme for Thunderball, and Paul McCartney, who composed and performed the theme for Live and Permit Dice. "I decided that I was going to sing it similar Tom Jones, in that crooning style. I wanted people to hear my vox," Cornell said. "And 'Live and Let Die' is a fantastic song. Paul McCartney wouldn't have written it if not for that movie. I [besides] wanted to write a vocal in its own universe. I knew I'd never take it again — a large orchestra — and so I wanted to have fun with it."[thirteen] Cornell did not put the motion-picture show'due south title in the lyrics, because he "couldn't imagine it fitting into a vocal lyric that would come out of my mouth".[14] And he jokingly stated "Casino Royale didn't brand a skilful stone title, but I would write a song named Octopussy just for fun".[15]

Before producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli appear on July 26, 2006, that Cornell was performing the theme for Casino Royale,[sixteen] diverse names were reported in the media, including some reports that other performers claimed they were working on the song. Some names mentioned were Tina Turner, who previously sang "GoldenEye" for the 1995 Bail film of the same name,[17] and Tony Christie.[18]

The lyrics try to illustrate Bond's psyche in Casino Royale, described by Cornell every bit a conflicted and tough spy with more emotional depth, not the "superconfident, seemingly invincible, winking kinda ladies' homo superspy" of the previous incarnations.[x] Cornell tried to focus on the existential dilemmas and possible sacrifices of secret agents: "There'southward an isolation in that; the stakes are very high. I've washed a lot of living in my 42 years, and information technology wasn't difficult for me to chronicle to that."[12] The vocal was also an introduction to the graphic symbol, fifty-fifty though he has been in many previous movies—hence the title "You Know My Name"—dealing with Bond's actions such as his showtime bump-off, "introducing himself to what may be the remainder of his life and how he volition alive it and what it volition mean."[19]

The orchestral version in the pic's opening titles has not been commercially released.

The song is the beginning Bond theme not to be included on its motion picture's soundtrack album. Cornell declared that it happened considering he wanted the vocal to be "his",[14] and since he wrote "You Know My Name" in midst of recording the solo anthology Carry On, he felt the song belonged to the anthology.[3] In 2008, it was included in the compilation The Best of Bail... James Bail.[24]
