Jack White wrote and produced "Another Way to Die", the theme for the 2008 James Bond film Quantum of Solace, and cut it with Alicia Keys, making it the first duet the Bond series had ever had. White sings and plays guitar, piano and drums, Keys matches him on vocals, and the result is a brawling, lopsided thing that plays the Bond-theme game by its own rules.
It came out in the US on September 30, 2008, with a limited seven-inch of 6,000 copies through White's Third Man Records there and XL Recordings in the UK. Listeners who wrote in to BBC Radio 1 after its premiere were split, but it went to number one in Finland, won Best Original Song at the Satellite Awards, and its video drew a Grammy nomination. White later said he never approved an instrumental version being used in a Coca-Cola ad.
