Adele confirms James Bond theme song

She posted a picture of the song credits on her official Twitter page , and says recording the track was "one of the proudest moments of my life".

It comes after months of rumours and other people, aside from Adele, discussing it.

Adele's photo appears to show the cover page of the sheet music for the Skyfall theme.

It lists the composers as A. Adkins, the singer's full name, and P. Epworth - the producer and co-writer of her hit single Rolling In The Deep.

The music has been arranged by Epworth and film composer JAC Redford, whose credits include The Help, The Iron Lady and Wall-E, BBC Newsbeat reported.  

Skyfall will be premiered via the singer's official website at 0.07 BST on Friday 5 October.

The same date marks the 50th anniversary of the release of the first James Bond film, Dr. No.

In a statement, Adele said: "I was a little hesitant at first to be involved with the theme song for Skyfall. There's a lot of instant spotlight and pressure when it comes to a Bond song.

"But I fell in love with the script and Paul (Epworth) had some great ideas for the track and it ended up being a bit of a no brainer to do it in the end.

"It was also a lot of fun writing to a brief, something I've never done which made it exciting. When we recorded the strings, it was one of the proudest moments of my life. I'll be back combing my hair when I'm 60 telling people I was a Bond girl back in the day I'm sure!"

Skyfall was recorded at Abbey Road studios in London with a 77-piece orchestra.

Adele first hinted she would be working on the theme song during an interview on Jonathan Ross's chat show on ITV1 in September 2011.

"I'm going back in the studio in November, fingers crossed," Adele told Ross.
