While describing his decision after hearing Eilish's 'No Time to Die' submission, he said, “That’s the vibe. That’s the everything. It’s a perfect movie song: In its quietness, somehow, you have a huge landscape in front of you.”

Billie wasn't the only huge musician who sent it possible tracks for the move, but Zimmer didn't give up who...“I’m not going to say who, but I am going to get myself into loads of trouble, and I don’t care: I couldn’t get past the intro," he said.
