While the preview doesn't contain any lyrics from Smith, the powerful instrumental indicates a return of the classic James Bond style audiences are familiar with. The full song will be available to download on September 25.

The latest film of the James Bond franchise, titled Spectre, is directed by Sam Mendes and is set to be released on October 26 in the U.K. and November 6 in the U.S.
