Speaking to PA on the BRITs red carpet, Marr talked of his experience of working with Eilish: "When we worked on the song the first day I worked with her we were in the studio for a long time, a good long day and she was great… she’s a good musician, a real musician”.

"When I heard the song I thought it was a very cool and smart choice. Because the song is very intense.

“It would have been very easy to do something that was very obvious. I think with Bond, it’s for my part, to play the guitar… I try to be true to the legacy of it and the tradition of it but make your own mark and kind of modernise it in a way.”
