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, however, 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.

Arnold’s score was widely criticised for its regular use of electronic elements and over-use of the Bond theme. Elektra King was provided with her own patois-laden theme, most prominently heard in “Casino,” “Elektra’s Theme” and “I Never Miss.” Arnold added two new themes to the Bond repertoire with this score, both of which are reused in Die Another Day. The first is an action theme, performed on the upper-registers of the piano, heard during “Pipeline” and “Submarine.” The second is a romance theme, first heard in the film during the skiing sequence, but not heard here until the “Christmas in Turkey” cue, in a simple arrangement for piano.
