The title song for the film, "The Living Daylights," was recorded by pop group a-ha. a-ha and Barry did not collaborate well, resulting in two versions of the theme song being produced; Barry's orchestral film version can be heard on the soundtrack and the a-ha greatest hits collection Headlines and Deadlines, while a-ha's preferred pop mix of the song can be heard on their 1988 album Stay on These Roads. However, in recent years members of a-ha have expressed their appreciation for Barry's work on their song, claiming that it was he who turned the track into a Bond theme.
