History
Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli announced on July 26, 2006 that Chris Cornell, the former Audioslave and Soundgarden lead singer, composed and would sing 'You Know My Name' the Casino Royale title song. Cornell collaborated with David Arnold who composed the film's score.
Various names were reported in the media prior to the announcement, some reports going so far as to have the performers apparently claim they were working on the theme. This list included Tina Turner, who previously sang 'GoldenEye' for the 1995 Bond film of the same name, and crooner Tony Christie.
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'.
Casino Royale Song Lyrics
It is only the fourth Bond theme (after the opening medley of 'Dr. No', the instrumental theme from 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' and 'All Time High' from 'Octopussy') to make no direct reference to the title of the film. The soundtrack was completed early in the morning on October 11, 2006. The soundtrack was released on November 14, 2006.
'You Know My Name' is the first Bond theme not to be included on its film's soundtrack album and was released separately as a single and on Cornell's album 'Carry On'.
Cornell declared that it happened because he wanted the song to be 'his', and since he wrote 'You Know My Name' in midst of recording the solo album Carry On, he felt that the song belonged to the album. In 2008, the song was included in the compilation 'The Best of Bond...James Bond'. The video for the single premiered on MTV's Making the Video on October 31, 2006.
However, motifs from the song serve as Bond's theme throughout the film, for example the tracks 'I'm the Money' and 'Aston Montenegro' feature two different instrumental renditions of its chorus. The 'You Know My Name' CD single was released on December 11, 2006.| Chart | Peak # |

Three versions of the song were produced: the original (referred to as the 'Rock Version'), the version used in the video and released on the Carry On album (referred to as the 'Pop Version') and a pitched-up version used in the films opening and closing credits.
The first version of the song, the grittier one which was leaked and not used in the movie, was made available for download on iTunes Store on November 13, 2006. This version debuted on the UK Single Download Chart at number 20 on November 22, 2006. It was released as a stand-alone single on December 14, 2006. The single features a new acoustic version of the Soundgarden song 'Black Hole Sun' as a B-side. The German, Dutch and Australian versions of the single offer a second version of 'You Know My Name' (called the Pop Mix) as a B-side.

Cornell won both the Satellite Award and the World Soundtrack Award for 'You Know My Name' in 2007, and garnered a Grammy Award nomination for Best Song Written For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media the following year. The song also received a first-round nomination in the 'Best Original Song' category for the 2006 Academy Awards, but did not qualify for the final list of nominees.

Casino Royale: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. The soundtrack to the 2006 film Casino Royale was released by Sony Classical on November 14, 2006. The music was composed by David Arnold and is Arnold's fourth soundtrack for the popular James Bond movie series. Frequent collaborator Nicholas Dodd orchestrated and conducted the score.
Development[edit]
Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli announced on July 26, 2006 that Chris Cornell, the former Audioslave and Soundgarden lead singer, composed and would sing 'You Know My Name', the Casino Royale title song.[1] Cornell collaborated with David Arnold who composed the film's score. Cornell was first reported to be writing and performing the song on July 20, 2006 by the Finnish newspaper Ilta-Sanomat. '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). It is only the fourth Bond theme (after the opening medley of Dr. No, the instrumental theme from On Her Majesty's Secret Service and 'All Time High' from Octopussy) to make no reference to the title of the film. The soundtrack was completed early in the morning on October 11, 2006.[2] The soundtrack was released on November 14, 2006.
Various names were reported in the media prior to the announcement, some reports going so far as to have the performers apparently claim they were working on the theme. This list includes Tina Turner[3] who previously sang 'GoldenEye' for the 1995 Bond film of the same name, and Tony Christie.[4]
Title song and tracks[edit]
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.
