I feel a little sorry for Lana. She desperately wanted to.do a Bond movie theme song. She recorded and released a couple of songs that were exactly like Bond themes, like a kind of audition to get their attention and show them what she could do. Then apparently she had a tentative agreement with them for No Time To Die, then they dumped her and went with Billie Eilish instead.
