About The Song
“Nobody Does It Better” is a power ballad that serves as the theme song for the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). The song was composed by Marvin Hamlisch with lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager, and was produced by Richard Perry. It was the first Bond theme song to be titled differently from the name of the film, as it does not include any direct references to the film’s plot.
The song was a major worldwide hit, spending three weeks at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States in 1977, and was also a success in the United Kingdom, peaking at #7 on the singles chart there. Its lyrics reflect the protagonist’s romantic entanglements and the intrigue surrounding him.
