The soundtrack to "Die Another Day," the 20th James Bond film, was released on November 12, 2002, by Warner Bros. Records. The music was composed by David Arnold, who had previously worked on the scores for other Bond films. In this third collaboration with the Bond franchise, Arnold combines electronic rhythmic elements with orchestral sounds, giving the soundtrack a modern touch. The orchestral direction was handled by Nicholas Dodd, a frequent collaborator of Arnold. The soundtrack features new themes that Arnold developed for the previous film "The World Is Not Enough," including a romantic theme that can be heard in various tracks on the album. The title song was written and performed by Madonna, who also has a small role in the film. This blend of innovative music and iconic melodies makes the soundtrack a remarkable part of the James Bond series.
