Cornell and Arnold tried to make the song a replacement theme for the character instead of the ' James Bond Theme' reflecting the agent's inexperience in Casino Royale, as well as an introduction to Daniel Craig's grittier and more emotional portrayal of Bond. The film producers chose Cornell because they wanted a strong male singer. ' You Know My Name' is the theme song of the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale, performed by American musician Chris Cornell, who wrote and produced it jointly with David Arnold, the soundtrack's composer.
