Madonna`s Title Theme For "Die Another Day"
6th November 2002

Madonna's involvement in "Die Another Day" has been well publicised, and the topic of many column inches in gossipy tabloid newspapers. Her title song, originally titled "Can't You See My Mind", has divided fans on whether it is suitable for a Bond movie.

The song starts in true Bond fashion with a very dramatic string section, before the hard and bare beats kick in. Madonna reprises her style from "Music" in it's pace and structure. Some of the vocals use a vocoder to subtle effect.

  Music Video

The music video for DAD premiered on MTV across the world on October 10th 2002. The video was shot in Los Angeles in early September by directing team Traktor.

Madonna plays a secret agent placed in death-defying situations reminiscent of scenes from past 007 films.

In once clip, she's strapped into an electric chair; in another, she has her head held underwater by double agents; and a third features the nephew of Harold Sakata - the Oddjob character from "Goldfinger" - flinging deadly bowler hats at Madonna as his uncle did to Sean Connery back in 1964.

In one highlight, a "good" Madonna dressed in white engages in a duel with her evil alter ego, who wears black. The scene makes reference to Madonna's cameo role in the movie as Verity, a fencing instructor.
