The song is simply titled “Skyfall,” but don’t let its mere obviousness fool you. After months of speculation, the new theme song for Bond’s next adventure, Skyfall, hit the net today.

Directed by Rich Moore, the animated feature will aim for originality and truth. And along side composer Henry Jackman, the two will take this film to the next level.
