After hearing Billie's most recent release, the 'How Do You Sleep?' singer said "It's so beautiful."

Speaking about the pressure the 18-year-old may face for releasing one of the most iconic soundtracks in cinema, Sam said "It depends on how much pressure you put on yourself.

"I put a lot of pressure on myself. I didn't realise how people really have, in their head, what a Bond song is, so you're never going to please everyone," they continued.

They went on to praise the ballad 'No Time To Die', saying how beautiful it was, and how pleased they were that Billie had "kept it classic".
