No Time to Die - Original Soundtrack was a soundtrack composed by Academy and Grammy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer for the 2021 James Bond film, No Time to Die, alongside guitarist Johnny Marr and score producer Steve Mazzaro. It was planned to be released by Decca Records on 27th March 2020[1], but was pushed back to 13th November 2020 to coincide with the release of the postponed film,[2] then further back to April 2021, then September 2021 and most recently on October 1, 2021.[3]

The development of the soundtrack by Eilish and Zimmer is covered in depth in the documentary the Sound of 007.

Dan Romer was initially announced to compose the film's score, but was replaced by Hans Zimmer on account of "creative differences" between EON and Romer.[4]
