Lagu ini adalah salah satu yang mengisi film agen 007. Judulnya sama dengan film yang dibintangi Roger Moore dan Grace Jones itu: A View To A Kill. Lagu-lagu Bond memang populer, namun belum pernah menempati posisi pertama. Dan posisi itu baru dihuni oleh lagu yang dibawakan Duran Duran ini.
Konon, Duran Duran melakukan upaya cukup gigih untuk mendapatkan lagu tersebut. Bassist Duran Duran, John Taylor, yang punya peran melakukan pendekatan kepada produser Bond, Albert R 'Cubby' Broccoli, saat mereka menghadiri sebuah pesta. Lagu ini rilis bersama album Original Soundtrack Movie A View To A Kill tahun 1985. Pada tahun itu juga Duran Duran membawakan lagu ini untuk Live Aid. Lagu merekalah yang pertama ditampilkan oleh ABC dalam liputan mereka untuk event tersebut. Selain itu di AS MTV juga menyiarkan sebagian besar acara tersebut, sementara BBC juga menayangkannya di Inggris.
A View To A Kill menjadi single terakhir Duran Duran yang dirilis sebelum mereka mengambil cuti untuk project sampingan mereka. John dan Andy Taylor bergabung Robert Palmer untuk membentuk The Power Station, sementara Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, dan Roger Taylor membentuk Arcadia. Setahun kemudian Le Bon, Rhodes dan John Taylor baru rekaman lagi sebagai Duran Duran.
A View To A Kill
Meeting you, with a view to a kill
Face to face in secret places, feel the chill
Night fall covers me, but you know the plans I'm making
Still oversea, could it be the whole world opening wide
A sacred why, a mystery gaping inside
The weekend's why
Until we dance into the fire, that fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire, to fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire, that fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
Choice for you, is the view to a kill
Between the shades, assassination's standing still
The first crystal tears, fall as snowflakes on your body
First time in years, to drench you skin with lovers rosy stain
A chance to find the phoenix for the flame
A chance to die
But can we dance into the fire, that fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire, to fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire, that fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire, when all we see is the view to a kill
A View To A Kill
Meeting you, with a view to a kill
Face to face in secret places, feel the chill
Night fall covers me, but you know the plans I'm making
Still oversea, could it be the whole world opening wide
A sacred why, a mystery gaping inside
The weekend's why
Until we dance into the fire, that fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire, to fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire, that fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
Choice for you, is the view to a kill
Between the shades, assassination's standing still
The first crystal tears, fall as snowflakes on your body
First time in years, to drench you skin with lovers rosy stain
A chance to find the phoenix for the flame
A chance to die
But can we dance into the fire, that fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire, to fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire, that fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire, when all we see is the view to a kill
