Guys, I think he is just trolling you with the "written in 20 minutes" thing.
But by saying it, I think it means one of two things. Either he's writing it off as unimportant (not pleased with the song), or he's bragging about how he can write his best work in no time at all so that his fans will think he is even more of a genius.

Does Skyfall not count or something?
From Goldfinger (can't decide if From Russia with Love count here or not) to Die Another Day there were 17 movies over 4 decades, only 3 movies didn't have their song named after the movie.
In the Daniel Craig era, Skyfall is the exception to the rule, so yeah, I think there's definitely a trend here.
And let maybe expand a bit on this issue here, like, I don't think it's the end of the world or anything, but I think that James Bond mostly work because of tradition, and yeah, I think it's kinda cool to having these songs that immediately evoke memory of the movie, even if it's on the nose.
Now yeah, you can break with those traditions if it can improve your movie (I think the Craig Bonds have played with it, sometime successfully sometime not) but really, let's not act like we're dealing with lyrical masterpieces that we can't work the name of the movie into them.

He has a good voice but his songs are sooooo boring.

Too street for a James Bond track.

Disappointed that it's not Goulding.
I find Sam Smith's stuff totally forgettable.

Well, if the song is shitty, it will be an appropriate fit for this shitty movie.

Never heard of him...
edit:
Never heard any of these songs either... And his voice doesn't sound particularly suited for a grand Bond theme.
Why him, if they could have so many other artists with more international appeal.

Wanted Ellie, can't stand Sam Smith.

Yeah. Teasing Ellie kind of backfired.
I don't mind Sam Smith. He wouldn't be my first choice.

As a matter of fact, it was Sam Smith who hinted it might be Ellie when he was asked if he would be doing the theme song. Now it was him after all.
It sure did. I didn't even care about the song until Ellie was in the game.
Oddly enough Sam Smith himself teased Goulding himself.

I'm surprised so many people are upset about this. His music is fine and his voice is fitting. I'm sure it will be a good song.
The last song Ellie Goulding did for a spy film: This Heavy Crown ft. Ellie Goulding

I'm indifferent. Never liked any of his music or his voice but they could always do worse.
Should have gotten Leona Lewis to do it, that would have been dope.

Apparently not. However, I think Sam Smith sounds like he has a permanent cold too.

Conchita would have been the best choice.

Yep, her voice (accent?) is so grating

My god, this.
Rise Like a Phoenix is already a good Bond song.
