Handed the title song for The World Is Not Enough, the 1999 James Bond film, Garbage shelved the genre-hopping gloss of Garbage and Version 2.0 and went for the grand manner of the series' own themes. David Arnold, who scored the film, wrote the music, and Don Black, already the lyricist on four earlier Bond songs, wrote the words, telling the story from the side of the villain, Elektra King: world domination, with seduction as the weapon.
The band did most of the recording on the European leg of the Version 2.0 World Tour, working with Arnold by phone while he recorded the orchestra in London, then finished and mixed it at Armoury Studios in Canada, producing it with him. Radioactive released it as the film opened at the end of November 1999; reviewers praised it, and it made the top 10 on four singles charts.
