Die Another Day (song)
"Die Another Day" is the theme to the James Bond film of the same name by American singer-songwriter Madonna. The single was released in late 2002 by Warner Bros. Records and marked Madonna's 20th anniversary from her first album release in 1983. It peaked at number eight in the United States and number three in the United Kingdom, selling 175,000 copies – making it the most successful Bond theme since Duran Duran's "A View to a Kill" (1985). The song was included on the soundtrack album of the same name and later included on her 2003 studio album, American Life and her 2009 greatest hits compilation, Celebration.
Madonna has included the song on two of her world tours; the first being the 2004 Re-Invention World Tour and again as a video interlude on the 2008–09 Sticky & Sweet Tour, this time a new music video was filmed incorporating the theme of Madonna as a professional boxer and the music was remixed. During the 2012 MDNA Tour, Madonna performed an exclusive club date at L'Olympia for only 2,576 fans and mixed "Die Another Day" with new song "Beautiful Killer". This mash-up was only performed on this date of the tour.

Famous quotes containing the words die and/or day:
“Still, it would be perfectly fine with me
to die like a nice girl
smelling of Clorox and Duz.
Being sixteen-in-the-pants
I would die full of questions.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The last best hope of earth, two trillion dollars in debt, is spinning out of control, and all we can do is stare at a flickering cathode-ray tube as Ollie “answers” questions on TV while the press, resolutely irrelevant as ever, asks politicians if they have committed adultery. From V-J Day 1945 to this has been, my fellow countrymen, a perfect nightmare.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
