Adele first mentioned that she was recording a “special project” in September 2011 in an interview for The Jonathan Ross Show, leading the media to the opinion that she would record the theme for the film [5] . Later, in April 2012, she told NRJ that she would release a new single by the end of 2012, but he would not be part of the new album [6] . Rumors continued to spread in September 2012, when she was noticed at the Abbey Road studio, where Thomas Newman recorded the music for the film Skyfall [7] .

In September 2012, OneRepublic singer, Ryan Tedder, wrote on his Twitter account that he had heard the title track of the film and that it was "the best theme of the James Bond film in his life." Adele's press agent, Paul Moss, also mentioned the song in his microblog. Both later deleted messages [8] .
