He released a snippet of the track earlier this week to tease fans.

And now singer Sam Smith, 23, has finally unveiled the theme tune to the new James Bond film Spectre, titled Writing's On The Wall.

Speaking on the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw on Friday morning, the Grammy-Award winning vocalist revealed he wrote it so quickly because he didn't feel under pressure.

Proud moment: Singer Sam Smith, 23, has finally unveiled the theme tune to the new James Bond film Spectre, titled Writing's On The Wall

He explained: 'I haven’t really felt pressure at all with Bond until the last few days actually because I’m just so nervous about what people are going to think about it.'

The London-born star - who shot to fame after featuring on the Disclosure track Latch in 2012 - told X Factor judge Grimmy that he doesn't reckon it'll get to number one.

He said: 'I don’t think it’s a number one friendly song if you know what I mean. Who knows, but I don’t think it will at all, but I’m not looking for that.'

Dreaming: After the song had its first play, Sam took to Twitter to thank fans for their support, saying it's a dream for him to write the new 007 single following acclaimed singers including Dame Shirley Bassey

After the song had its first play on the radio, Sam took to Twitter to thank fans for their support, saying it's a dream for him to write and perform the new 007 single.

He follows acclaimed singers including Adele and Dame Shirley Bassey.

He wrote to his 3.57million fans: 'I have been dreaming of this moment for a long long time.

'Thank you for all your amazing messages. Today is such a special day for me and I am so grateful to everyone supporting this track xx'.

He also spoke on the Capital FM Breakfast Show and when asked about whether he'd love to win an Oscar for it - like Adele did - he said: 'It's not even something I'm thinking about.

'I'm excited for people to hear it and I hope it just does the film and the legacy justice.'

He recently revealed it took him only 20 minutes to write the highly-anticipated theme song.

The Stay With Me singer delighted James Bond fans on Monday when he shared a video sneak-peek of the Spectre track on his Twitter page.

Alongside a snippet of the track, he wrote: 'Four days! Thanks to everyone pre-ordering, can't wait for you to hear Writing's On The Wall.'

First look: Sam Smith released the first teaser for his James Bond Spectre theme tune on his Twitter page on Monday

The 15-second clip gave little away, showing an artistically-shot promo teaser which is set to the soundtrack of a sizeable string and brass band.

Sam first confirmed he had been chosen to provide the acclaimed music track for the latest 007 installment earlier in the month after initially denying all speculation.

Finally coming clean, he announced the news again on his Twitter page with help from a photo of his hand clad with a Spectre-logo ring.

Big clue: Sam, 23, dropped the first major hint that he would be recording the theme song when he shared a snap of him wearing a ring emblazoned with the Spectre logo earlier in the month

Calling it one of the highlights of his career, he added: 'I am so excited to be a part of this iconic British legacy and join an incredible line up of some of my biggest musical inspirations.'

Opening up about the 007 experience to pal Nick Grimshaw the following day, the Omen hit-maker said it had been a 'top secret mission' of his own, admitting it was the quickest he'd even penned a song.

He began: 'I'm so relieved to actually talk about this, this has been a top secret mission of my own.

Revealed: The multi-Grammy-award winner followed up the picture with tweets that expressed his excitement

'I got called into the office with [producer] Barbara Broccoli and [director] Sam Mendes and they gave me the script, I read the script ... they said, "Have a go at the song".

'It's the quickest I've ever written a song - it took 20 minutes - and they loved it. I love the song so much.'

A four-time Grammy Award winner with five No1s under his belt, Sam becomes the first British male solo singer of a James Bond theme song since 1965.

Such a tease: The chart-topper previously denied all involvement in the highly-acclaimed musical theme tune

There was fervent speculation that he was involved in the track earlier in the year but it was previously shot down by the singer when he told Capital FM's Dave Berry and Lisa Snowdon in July that he 'had no idea what is going on'.

He explained: 'People seem to think I'm doing it but I have no idea what's going on. I'm being deadly serious. I think I would know by now.'

He added that believed singer Ellie Goulding was going to record it, though he revealed to BBC Radio 2's Chris Evans that producers only told him the news six weeks ago, to avoid a leak.

Spectre hits UK cinemas on October 26 and is released in the US on November 6.
