"Tomorrow Never Dies" was the theme song to the 18th James Bond film of the same name. It was performed and co-written by Sheryl Crow and the song became her fifth UK Top 20 hit, peaking at #12 in 1997.

Another song, "Tomorrow Never Dies", written by composer David Arnold and performed by k.d. lang, was originally produced as the official theme tune. When Crow's song became the official theme the k.d. lang song was relegated to the end credits, and renamed to "Surrender (Tomorrow Never Dies)". Surrender's melody still remains in Arnold's score however.[1]
