'The World Is Not Enough' was released by the American alternative rock band Garbage in 1999 as the theme song for the James Bond film of the same name. This marked a significant moment for the band, as it was their first foray into writing a movie theme. The song was produced by the band members—Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker, and Butch Vig—who infused it with their signature blend of electronic rock and pop sensibilities. The track showcased a darker, more atmospheric sound compared to their previous work, aligning well with the espionage and intrigue associated with the Bond franchise. Upon its release, the song charted well, reaching the top ten in several countries and adding to the band's growing legacy in the late '90s alternative music scene.
