An exclusive look behind-the-scenes of the video for Paul's new single 'Hope For The Future'.

Paul McCartney’s new song 'Hope For the Future' is out now

The digital bundle includes Paul’s original anthem from the biggest entertainment release of the year ‘Destiny’ plus four exclusive mixes

The song was written by Paul for the record-breaking video game 'Destiny'. Produced by Giles Martin, 'Hope For The Future' is as epic as the game, which sold-through more than $325 million worldwide in its first five days.

It goes without saying that Paul has written countless hit singles, orchestral scores, electronica works, film themes, and has consistently changed the world with his music. Listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the 'World’s Most Successful Composer and Recording Artist of All Time', Paul has now added another first to his impressive list: 'Hope For The Future' marks the first time that Paul has ever written specifically for a video game — one poised to become the most successful franchise of its kind.

The single's tracklisting is as follows:

1) 'Hope For The Future (Main)'
2) 'Hope For The Future (Thrash)'
3) 'Hope For The Future (Beatsession Mix)'
4) 'Hope For The Future (Jaded Mix)'
5) 'Hope For The Future (Mirwais Mix)'

Talking about the writing process Paul said:

“When you’re writing something like 'Hope For The Future', which is custom made, it is like doing a portrait for someone. You have to use your imagination and work out what they need, what they're going to want and then what you want to give them. Then you’ve got to combine those three things into something that you still think maintains integrity. So in the game you're a Guardian of the last city on Earth so that suggested to me the ‘hope for the future’ idea and I went from there. Then I thought it is not just a game song, this will get played outside the game so it has got to be stand alone too, you can’t have references to aliens or people will think, ‘What’s he talking about?’ So it had to have its own stand alone meaning and integrity.”

From Bungie, the creators of the 'Halo' franchise, Activision Publishing Inc., the creators and publishers that brought you 'Call of Duty', 'Destiny' is the biggest new video game franchise launch in history and one of the biggest entertainment launches of 2014.

Love the man; saw him in 1965, sometime in the 80's (haze in my eyes) and lastly in 2005.  Husband got us great tickets.  Paul and his band rocked the night away; the audience was dancing.  As always, my eyes filled with tears.  How can he be so f_ _ _ _ _ _ awesome?!  (And, yes, he is still as handsome as ever!)

When I got destiny, I was a little bit interested. When I heard news about Paul being in a music video of this game, I had never been this excited since my 2011 Christmas present! When the song came out, I would hit the repeat option button and listen to the song all day while playing destiny! Love this song, game, and Paul McCartney! Great job on this song Paul! By the way, did you know that the game have an option were you could dance?

Paulie knocks another one out of the park.

[mickavellian]

And HE DOES IT AGAIN but Sir Macca NEEDS a producer thats up to his music. The song is GORGEOUS but does need  "accents" of harmony a lil very low horn arrangement. and HARMONIES .. Still this is the way he's bring the songs to Abby Road. I can NOT believe this man IS STILL at that level of creativity. Gotta love him DEARLY. 
oh the outfit was the "Shea Stadium design" I gotta get me one.
I love ya Paulie and that is not fan bullshit . YOU are a TREMENDOUS part of my life.

[tamigk]

Well done Paul for being open minded! That is why we love you!

[viriacastle]

Genius. Pure Genius. Not from this world.
