<P> `` You Know My Name '' , performed by Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell , is the theme song to the 2006 James Bond film , Casino Royale . Cornell wrote it jointly with David Arnold , the soundtrack 's composer . The film producers chose Cornell because they wanted a strong male singer . Cornell and Arnold tried to make the song a replacement theme for the character instead of the `` James Bond theme '' reflecting the agent 's inexperience in Casino Royale , as well as an introduction to Daniel Craig 's grittier and more emotional portrayal of Bond . The single sold 148,000 copies in 2006 in the UK , peaked at number 7 in the UK singles chart , and has sold 323,000 digital copies and 3.5 million streams in the U.S. as of 2017 . </P>
