Watch the Video for Sam Smith's 'Writing's on the Wall'

British singer Sam Smith has released the video for his song "Writing's on the Wall," the theme for the latest James Bond film, Spectre.

The video, released on Monday, includes unseen footage from Spectre. In the footage Bond, played by Daniel Craig, is seen passionately kissing Bond girl Monica Bellucci, and Léa Seydoux, the other Bond girl in the film, also features.

The video was directed by Luke Monaghan, a British filmmaker based in L.A. who has previously worked with Disclosure and A$AP Rocky, and has made music videos for Smith's "Leave Your Lover" and "Not The Only One."

Smith's Bond theme song received mixed reviews upon its release in late September.

The upcoming Bond film is directed by Sam Mendes and has an October 26 release date in the U.K. and November 6 in the U.S.
