Could Lana Del Rey Be the Voice of 007: First Light? ASCAP Filing Sparks Fan Frenzy
Fans have spotted an ASCAP registration that lists Elizabeth Grant — Lana Del Rey’s real name — with a song titled “First Light”, and they are connecting that entry to the upcoming James Bond-style game 007: First Light. The registration, plus past ties to Bond projects and the game’s release timeline, is what is driving the discussion online.
- ASCAP registration
- Lana’s previous Bond connection
- Possible link to her album Stove

ASCAP registration
ASCAP, the American Society of Composers Authors and Publishers, shows a new registration under the name Elizabeth Grant. The registered song title is “First Light”. Fans on Reddit and other forums noticed the entry and suggested the song could be the theme for 007: First Light. The registration itself is a public record; however, ASCAP listings do not automatically confirm how a song will be used.
Lana’s previous Bond connection
Lana Del Rey previously wrote a track called “24” that was intended for the Bond film Spectre. In the end, Sam Smith’s “Writing’s on the Wall” was chosen as the official theme for that movie. Thus, there is a factual precedent for Del Rey writing music linked to Bond projects even when her songs were not selected.
Possible link to her album Stove
Meanwhile, Lana Del Rey has an album titled Stove that is slated for release early next year. That project has gone through multiple name changes and delays, according to reporting, so the newly registered song could also be part of Stove rather than a Bond theme. Additionally, Del Rey has spoken about video games in past interviews; for example, she said her song “Video Games” came from watching her boyfriend at the time play World of Warcraft. More details appear in a Mark Savage interview available here.
007: First Light release and next steps
IO Interactive’s game 007: First Light is scheduled to arrive on March 27, 2026. The studio has been releasing progressively detailed previews of the game, so further information about the soundtrack or theme song may appear in official updates. Until IO Interactive or Lana Del Rey’s team confirms the song’s purpose, the ASCAP registration remains the main public fact fueling fan speculation.
