Another affirmation came from writer and singer FINNEAS, who is Eilish's older brother. “We wrote the theme song for No Time To Die. I can't believe we're allowed to talk about this now. We are proud and can't wait for you to hear it. "
The tweets of Eilish's siblings indicate that the two will work together to make the song No Time To Die.

This announcement also positions Eilish as the youngest singer to fill a song for the James Bond film.
Reporting from The Guardian, Eilish was surprised to be part of the latest work No Time To Die. “To be able to make a film's theme song is part of a legendary series is a great honor. James Bond is the coolest film franchise ever, "he said.
The brother also gave the same comment for the news. He said, there is no iconic music and films compared to Goldfinger and Live and Let Die.
"We feel very, very fortunate to play a minor role in the legendary franchise, long live 007," he said.
Film producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Brocolli revealed, Eilish's song is very compatible with the emotional story of the James Bond film.
No Time To Die director Cary Joji Fukunaga also confessed his fondness for the young singer and his brother. Fukunaga hopes that this song will also become a new perspective for future generations.
Eilish's work will be his first music project in 2020. After the success of the album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? and his single project series, Eilish promises new treats this year.
The film No Time To Die tells of James Bond who finds himself in a mysterious criminal trap with a new technological weapon that endangers him. Starring Daniel Craig, Rami Malek, Léa Seydoux, and Lashana Lynch, the film will open on April 2 in theaters.
