The theme tune "The World Is Not Enough" was performed by Garbage. This is the second James Bond soundtrack composed by David Arnold. Arnold breaks with tradition by not ending the film with a new song or a reprise of the opening theme. Originally, Arnold was going to use the song "Only Myself to Blame" at the end of the film... it was replaced by a techno remix of the James Bond theme. "Only Myself to Blame", sung by Scott Walker, and written by David Arnold & Don Black, does appear on the soundtrack album. This is actually the fifth Bond song Black has contributed to.

The World Is Not Enough, released in 1999, is the nineteenth spy film in the James Bond series, and the third to star Pierce Brosnan as the fictional British secret agent James Bond. The film's original story and screenplay were written by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade. It was produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. In the film, Bond is assigned to stop Renard, a terrorist who plans to permanently disrupt petroleum shipments from the Caspian Sea by causing the meltdown of a nuclear submarine in the waters of Istanbul.

"The World Is Not Enough" was first performed live at the University of Denver, Colorado on 20 October 1999 and regularly performed as a show encore during each night of Garbage's MTV Campus Invasion Tour. The band performed a stripped-down version (without strings) each time until the final performance in University of California, Irvine on 24 November 1999, which was ... the last day of the Version 2.0 world tour.[29] Vig told MKKBB "In Denver I don't think anyone knew what it was and then we played it in Western Illinois University (in Macomb) and University of Chicago and the crowd went nuts when we played it."[17] The single was also performed live on the Late Show with David Letterman on November 1, 1999, which was its only televised promotion.[29]

The World Is Not Enough was adapted by then-current Bond novelist Raymond Benson from the screenplay. It was Benson's fourth James Bond novel and followed the story closely, except in some details, such as Elektra singing quietly before death and Bond still carrying his Walther PPK instead of the newer P99. The novel ... gave the assassin a name: Giulietta da Vinci, and retained a scene between her and Renard that was cut from theatrical release.

Original Review: The nineteenth James Bond film, The World Is Not Enough, is significant for two reasons. Firstly, it marks the only the third occasion in history that the same actor - Pierce Brosnan - has returned to play Bond for a third time. It ... heralds the "official" handing over of the Bond reins from John Barry to David Arnold who, after receiving critical acclaim for his last Bond score Tomorrow Never Dies, becomes the first ever composer to score more than one Bond movie - with the exception of Barry himself, of course.
