Chris Cornell, the Audioslave and former Soundgarden lead singer composed performed the title song “You Know My Name” for Casino Royale. Cornell collaborated with David Arnold who composed the film’s score. “You Know My Name” is the first theme song since 1983’s Octopussy to use a different title than the film, and Cornell is the first male performer since A-ha (in 1987’s The Living Daylights). It is only the fourth Bond theme (after the opening medley of Dr No, the instrumental theme from On Her Majesty’s Secret Service and “All Time High” from Octopussy) to make no reference to the title of the film.

The Casino Royale title song “You Know My Name” by Chris Cornell is not featured on the soundtrack. This marks the first time that a Bond title track did not appear on the official soundtrack. Some cues for the film which did not make the final selection of tracks for the soundtrack are available as bonus track downloads from iTunes. However, an instrumental version of the Cornell song serves as Bond’s theme throughout the film. The traditional Bond theme builds throughout the film before appearing in its full form over the end credits.
