Adele's "Skyfall" was leaked a few hours before its scheduled release. The long-anticipated theme song for the new James Bond movie, Skyfall, was set for release Friday at seven minutes past midnight British time (that's 0:07, get it?), or Thursday at 7:07 p.m. ET. The theme for this edition of the iconic British spy series is sung by iconic British singer, Adele. Check out "Skyfall" below.
Adele co-wrote the soulful, orchestral tune with her 21 producer and "Rolling in the Deep" co-writer, Paul Epworth. Earlier this week, a 90-second clip of the song was leaked but quickly pulled off the internet before resurfacing. On Monday, Adele tweeted this photo that revealed the song details, as well as a fantastic manicure.
Friday marks the 50th anniversary of the James Bond film series, as the first movie, Dr. No, was released Oct. 5, 1962. Skyfall hits theatres on Nov. 9. The film's score soundtrack, composed by Thomas Newman, will be released on Nov. 6.
