"Skyfall" is a song recorded by the English singer Adele for the James Bond film of the same name. She co-wrote the song with its producer Paul Epworth, and it features orchestration from J. A. C. Redford. Eon Productions invited the singer to work on the theme song in early 2011, a task that Adele accepted after reading the film's script. While composing the song, Adele and Epworth aimed to capture the mood and style of the other Bond themes, including dark and moody lyrics descriptive of the film's plot. "Skyfall" was released at 0:07 British Summer Time (BST) on 5 October 2012 as part of the Global James Bond Day, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the release of Dr. No, the first James Bond film.
