Die Another Day… one of the earliest examples of Weaponized Pop at the turn of the millennium. A departure from the Bind themes of yesteryear where Madonna explored and weaponized electronic beats and synth-heavy production choices as well as psychological lyricism. At the time, it divided both the critics and the GeePee with its ahead of its time sound… something that would be fully explored in the American Life album.
 

“Die Another Day" received mixed responses from music critics; one group of reviewers favored its departure from traditional Bond soundtracks, while others panned its production and called it uninteresting. It was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song and two Grammy Awards for Best Dance Recordingand Best Short Form Music Video. The song was a commercial success, peaking at number eight on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was the top selling dance song in the US for both 2002 and 2003. "Die Another Day" reached the top of the charts in Canada, Italy, Romania and Spain and top-ten in a number of countries worldwide.

One of the top 5 Bond songs

It's a ******* Bop!

I love it. It was innovative, strange, exciting. The video is ICONIC. 

It’s a million times better than the movie

One of her best songs.

One of her most underrated lead singles. And yes I say lead single because Madonna was referring to it as the first single from her upcoming album in late 2002:

 

 

this mashup is a BOP

 

I loved it from first listen. It kinda aged now cuz I over listened to it but still a GREAT SONG. A Dark Pawp!

One of my favourite madonna songs

Should have been included more on her tours.

Best song on American Life, imo.

It’s a great song. 

A classic 

I love this song. It’s among the better Bond songs. 

It’s such a ******* bop and still sounds fresh. The bridge sends me to another dimension WHEW

This song was a hit. It was Grammy nominated, golden globe nominated, top 10 almost everywhere. Change your narrative

I dont understand the hate.. 

 

Its one of the few songs I like from her

it's the only 007 sing i use. an Xperimental bop i fear. the video is a revelation.

 

 

It's great and the only Bond song interesting enough to be listened to more than once. Too bad American Life sucked.

What is there not nice to say

 

classic Madonna, video is great, remixes were on fire 

 

 

good song

Unique, unexpected, catchy, and a wonderful video
