Billie Eilish [1]'s music just seems tailor-made for figure skating programs and gymnastics floor routines [2], and this skating routine set to "No Time to Die" is no exception. Performed by Estonian skater Johanna Allik [3] at Bryant Park in New York City, the skating, camera work, and moody atmosphere is the perfect complement to Eilish's ominous Bond song [4]. Even the carving sound of her skates on the ice matches up perfectly to the music.
The routine was filmed by On Ice Perspectives [5] an ice skating cinematography channel that has teamed up to produce routines with Adam Rippon [6] (set to "Shallow" from "A Start Is Born"), Olympic silver medalists Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron [7], and many other prominent skaters. The setting couldn't have been more perfect for this Billie Eilish routine — an urban nightscape, at twilight [8] or just before dawn, in a totally empty rink. On the ice, Allik's sharp skating and graceful movements reflects the dark, introspective feel of the music, and it all comes together in a cinematic way that's sure to induce some chills. It ends just before the music starts to build, and Allik skates away with a mysterious smile that really does feel like the cliffhanger ending to James Bond film.
Get swept up in the full routine above.
