who sang the theme tune to casino royale 2006
You Know My Name (Chris Cornell song) "You Know My Name", performed by Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell, is the theme song to the 2006 James Bond film, Casino Royale. Cornell wrote it jointly with David Arnold, the soundtrack's composer. The film producers chose Cornell because they wanted a strong male singer. Cornell and Arnold tried to make the song a replacement theme for the character instead of the "James Bond theme" reflecting the agent's inexperience in Casino Royale, as well as an introduction to Daniel Craig's grittier and more emotional portrayal of Bond. The single sold 148,000 copies in 2006 in the UK,[1] peaked at number 7 in the UK singles chart,[1] and has sold 323,000 digital copies and 3.5 million streams in the U.S. as of 2017.[2]
