Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli announced on 26 July 2006 that Chris Cornell, the former Audioslave and Soundgarden lead singer, composed and would sing "You Know My Name", the Casino Royale title song.

"You Know My Name" is the first theme song since 1983's Octopussy to use a different title than the film, and Cornell is the first male performer since a-ha (in 1987's The Living Daylights).

This list includes Tina Turner[3] who previously sang "GoldenEye" for the 1995 Bond film of the same name, and Tony Christie.

[4] The Casino Royale title song "You Know My Name" by Chris Cornell is not featured on the soundtrack album, but released separately as a single.

However, motifs from the song serve as Bond's theme throughout the film, e.g. the tracks "I'm the Money" and "Aston Montenegro", feature two different instrumental renditions of its chorus.
