Sam Smith was “surprised” to hear about the Radiohead claim that they were originally asked to record the theme song for Spectre.
During a press conference that followed the Golden Globes, Smith was asked about Radiohead’s track. Smith replied “Thom Yorke?”. He was then informed by Jimmy Napes who Thom Yorke is.
He also declared that he has not listened to the Radiohead track, "Ses, I was a little bit surprised. Not going to lie, but I haven't listened to it personally because I did the [official] Spectre theme song."

Smith’s Spectre theme, ‘Writing’s On The Wall’, was the first Bond theme to reach the No.1 spot in the UK.
Radiohead released their bond theme, which was called ‘Spectre’, on Christmas Day, with the accompanying message, "Last year we were asked to write a theme tune for the Bond movie 'Spectre'. Yes we were. It didn't work out, but became something of our own, which we love very much."
