Yungblud has admitted he would love to record a James Bond theme with Oasis.

Rumours that the band were at the top of Amazon MGM’s wishlist for the next 007 movie theme have been swirling in recent months with Noel Gallagher even responding to the speculation last month.
“This James Bond thing? What, Oasis? Nah,” he told Talksport. He did say that he would be interested in being the latest high-profile artist to pen a Bond theme, however. “What for Oasis to do it? Absolutely,” he said. “Of course. It would be an absolute honour, and I think those kind of things should be done by Brits not Yanks.”
Noel confirmed that there had been no contact to date between the Bond franchise and Oasis, although he did joke that he would be up for a role as “a Mancunian villain” in the next movie.
For his part, Liam Gallagher chimed in on the Bond rumours last month, responding to a post on X by quipping: “It’s happening you wait till you hear it it’s the best BOND tune ever”.
Now, in a new interview with Kerrang, when asked whether he’d like to be involved, Yungblud said: “I would fucking love to. For any British artist, a Bond song is the goal and in the same league as headlining Glastonbury.”
He added: “I’d be down for a collaboration on a Bond song if Liam and Noel would fucking have me.”
Liam has since responded on X, after a fan asked how the Bond tune was coming along.
“It’s finished just waiting for yungblud to finish his triangle solo,” he wrote before adding that Noel’s “been teaching yungblud the parts for the triangle solo bits.”

Noel has been talking about the possibility of a Bond theme for a long time – in 2008, he told NME that he’d “written a couple of Bond theme tunes”, while repeating his assertion that it is “a bit of a piss-take that the greatest British agent of all time has to be soundtracked by a bunch of fucking Americans”.
In 2015, Noel said he would record a Bond theme “in a heartbeat”, and a year later he reiterated that he would do it if he were asked. Paul Weller later revealed in 2017 that he and Noel had written “half” of a potential Bond theme.
In 2019, Liam also said he was up for recording a Bond theme, saying that the producers could “give us a call, why not”. He also claimed that he had met Barbara Broccoli in 2017 for initial conversations.
Amazon MGM took over creative control of the Bond franchise last year, and Dune‘s Denis Villeneuve has since been confirmed as the director of the next film, with Peaky Blinders‘ Steven Knight set to be overseeing the screenplay.
The new producers are said to be looking for a “fresh face” to take on the lead role, after Daniel Craig bowed out after 2021’s No Time To Die. No actor has been announced yet, but Callum Turner recently became the bookies favourite.
He has since refused to comment on rumours he could be the next 007.
