"'''You Know My Name'''" is the theme song of the 2006 [[James Bond]] film ''[[Casino Royale (2006 film)|Casino Royale]]'', performed by American musician [[Chris Cornell]], who wrote and produced it jointly with [[David Arnold]], the film's composer. The track was leaked onto the internet on September 20, 2006, and later released as an official single on November 13, 2006 through [[Interscope Records]]. It was not included in the [[Casino Royale (2006 soundtrack)|''Casino Royale'' soundtrack]], but appeared on Cornell's 2007 second solo album, ''[[Carry On (Chris Cornell album)|Carry On]]''.

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|Daniel Craig's]] grittier and more emotional portrayal of [[James Bond (literary character)|James Bond]].

It was a hit throughout Europe, reaching the top 10 in eight countries, including No. 7 on the [[UK singles chart|UK Singles Chart]].<ref name="UK chart" /> It sold 148,000 copies in 2006 in the UK,<ref name="UK chart">{{cite news|url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/chris-cornell-wrote-performed-bond-10446873 |title=Chris Cornell wrote and performed the James Bond theme song for Daniel Craig's first 007 outing in Casino Royale |date=18 May 2017 |newspaper=Daily Mirror |access-date=31 May 2016}}</ref> and has sold 323,000 digital copies and garnered 3.5 million streams in the U.S. as of 2017.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://variety.com/2017/music/news/chris-cornell-dead-dies-soundgarden-frontman-dies-at-52-1202432798/ |title=Chris Cornell, Soundgarden Frontman, Dies at Age 52 |magazine=Variety |access-date=31 May 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170526140019/http://variety.com/2017/music/news/chris-cornell-dead-dies-soundgarden-frontman-dies-at-52-1202432798/ |archive-date=26 May 2017}}</ref> Reviews of the song were positive; it won a [[Satellite Award for Best Original Song]] and a [[World Soundtrack Award for Best Original Song Written Directly for a Film]] and was nominated for a [[Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media|Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media]].

}}[[Lia Vollack]], [[Sony Pictures]]'s President of Music, called Chris Cornell inviting him to make a song for the new Bond movie ''[[Casino Royale (2006 film)|Casino Royale]]'', which would "reflect the dramatic new direction of [[James Bond (literary character)|James Bond]]", with a "strong male singer".<ref name="SongWriter">{{cite web|url=http://songwriteruniverse.com/chriscornell123.htm|title=Rock Star Chris Cornell (formerly of Soundgarden & Audioslave) Talks About His New Solo Album, Carry On|date=11 May 2007|publisher=SongwriterUniverse magazine|access-date=2009-04-15}}</ref> Cornell thought it was a strange offer, considering that he was American, and assumed he would perform a secondary song instead of the main theme.<ref>{{cite video|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGXN2IZ8D-Q |title=Chris Cornell on New Solo Album |publisher=[[Madison Square Garden|MSG.com]] |date=2007-08-01 |access-date=2009-04-15 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160410082433/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGXN2IZ8D-Q |archive-date=2016-04-10 }}</ref> Cornell declared he liked the Bond movies, particularly the ones with [[Sean Connery]],<ref name="SongWriter" /> but that he "wasn't really a big fan of the last several movies". But [[Daniel Craig]]'s casting as James Bond intrigued him, and he decided to accept. He then went to [[Prague]] to visit the film's shooting location, and was impressed with its emotional content when he was shown a rough cut.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1537179/20060726/cornell_chris.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061114004700/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1537179/20060726/cornell_chris.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 14, 2006|title=Chris Cornell Working On Solo LP — But Dismisses Rumors Of Audioslave Split|date=2006-07-26|publisher=MTV|access-date=2009-04-15}}</ref> In Prague he also met the film's composer, [[David Arnold]], who suggested writing a song "that echoed the film score".<ref name="SongWriter" />

The composers started their writing separately, Cornell in his apartment in [[Paris]], and Arnold in his house in [[London]].<ref name="burlingame" /><ref name="mi6">{{cite web|url=http://www.mi6-hq.com/sections/articles/interview_david_arnold_cr3_ykmn.php3|title=In Conversation With David Arnold (3)|date=2007-04-30|access-date=2009-07-09|publisher=[[MI6-HQ.com]]}}</ref> Cornell said, "It is difficult, I think, to write lyrics for a character, so really I just kind of wandered around for about a month not thinking about it too much, until I sort of formulated some idea of a way that I could approach it, where I'm kind of relating to what's in the character in the movie. And because this particular Bond is very edgy, but also has a lot of emotional depth, it's a lot easier."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=60059|title=CHRIS CORNELL: New Audio Interview Available|date=October 10, 2006|work=Blabbermouth|access-date=2012-10-01|archive-date=2013-02-22|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130222184418/http://blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=60059|url-status=dead}}</ref> Later the two musicians met to share their ideas, and according to Arnold "it was almost like we wrote two parts of the same song."<ref name="burlingame" /> Cornell wrote lyrics, to which Arnold added some more lyrics and later music.<ref name="SongWriter" /> Some of Arnold's ideas included the song's title, the heavy introduction, and "having the same genetic material as the "[[James Bond Theme]]", but in a different order and in a different shape".<ref name="burlingame" />

After a demo of the song was approved by the film's producers,<ref name="mi6" /> both musicians recorded the full version in [[Air Lyndhurst|AIR Studios]] in London.<ref name="SongWriter" /> Cornell and Arnold recorded the [[guitar]] and [[bass guitar|bass]] parts themselves and hired a [[session musician]] for the [[drums]]. They were finished by the time ''Casino Royale'' wrapped its [[principal photography]] on July 21, 2006, and Arnold played it at the [[Wrap (filmmaking)|wrap]] party.

Speaking to the film music fan site Maintitles, Arnold said he wanted "You Know My Name" to be a substitute for the "James Bond Theme", to represent Bond's immaturity. The song's motif is heard throughout the film, and the classic theme plays only during the end credits to signal the end of his character arc.<ref>{{cite news | author = Bregt De Lange and Mario Schuurmans |title=Interview with David Arnold at the World Soundtrack Awards 2007| work = maintitles.net | url = http://www.maintitles.net/features/interviews/david-arnold-2007/ | access-date=2008-03-16}}</ref> Arnold felt the song should tie closer to the score, and have the "DNA of the [[James Bond music]]".<ref name=mi6/> The musical arrangement tried to create "the right blend of [[Rock music|rock]] aggression and sophisticated instrumentation",<ref name=mix>{{cite news|url=https://variety.com/2007/film/awards/in-the-mix-2-1117956539/|title=In the mix|date=2007-01-02|work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|access-date=2009-07-09}}</ref> with Cornell describing it as "more up-tempo and a little more aggressive than any other Bond theme has been, maybe since [[Paul McCartney|Paul McCartney's]] '[[Live and Let Die (song)|Live and Let Die]]'."<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/57639/cornell-plotting-first-solo-album-since-1999|title=Cornell Plotting First Solo Album|magazine=Billboard|access-date=2010-04-05}}</ref>

Cornell stated that the biggest two influences on "You Know My Name" were [[Tom Jones (singer)|Tom Jones]], who performed the theme for ''[[Thunderball (film)|Thunderball]]'', and Paul McCartney, who composed and performed the theme for ''[[Live and Let Die (film)|Live and Let Die]]'' with his band [[Paul McCartney and Wings|Wings]].

The lyrics try to illustrate Bond's psyche in ''Casino Royale'', described by Cornell as a conflicted and tough spy with more emotional depth, not the "superconfident, seemingly invincible, winking kinda ladies' man superspy" of the previous incarnations.<ref name=mix/> Cornell tried to focus on the existential dilemmas and possible sacrifices of secret agents: "There's an isolation in that; the stakes are very high. I've done a lot of living in my 42 years, and it wasn't hard for me to relate to that."<ref name=flock/> The song was also an introduction to the character, even though he has been in many previous movies—hence the title "You Know My Name"—dealing with Bond's actions such as his first assassination, "introducing himself to what may be the rest of his life and how he will live it and what it will mean."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.virginmedia.com/music/interviews/chriscornell.php|title=Chris Cornell interview|first=Alex|last=Robertson|publisher=[[Virgin Media]]|access-date=2010-01-29}}</ref>

==Release==
Three versions of "You Know My Name" were produced. The "main version" took the primary spot of the single release. A "[[Pop music|pop]] mix" was used in the music video, featured on the ''[[Carry On (Chris Cornell album)|Carry On]]'' album, and appeared on German singles as the second track. "Film versions" were more orchestral and used in the ''Casino Royale's'' opening and closing credits.<ref name=burlingame/><ref name=mi6/>

The song was leaked on the internet on September 20, 2006.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/news/1647543/check_out_the_new_007_song_or_not|title=Check Out the New 007 Song ... or not.|website=Rotten Tomatoes|first=Scott|last=Weinberg|date=2006-09-21|access-date=2010-01-29}}</ref> The first version, the grittier one which was leaked and not used in the movie, was made available for download on [[iTunes Store]] on November 13, 2006.

The orchestral version in the film's opening titles has not been commercially released.

The song is the first Bond theme not to be included on its film's [[Casino Royale (2006 soundtrack)|soundtrack album]]. Cornell declared that it happened because he wanted the song to be "his",<ref name=bbc/> and since he wrote "You Know My Name" in midst of recording the solo album ''Carry On'', he felt the song belonged to the album.<ref name=SongWriter/> In 2008, it was included in the compilation ''[[The Best of Bond...
