The X Factor star told the PA that being chosen to perform the track for the still-untitled movie would be a "phenomenal feeling".
"We have talked about it," she admitted. "We have put it out there, but they haven't got back to me yet.
"I would be the happiest woman on this planet, and that's the truth. To sing a Bond song, you would be up there with the greats, the likes of Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones and Paul McCartney. To even consider me would be a phenomenal feeling, and I would be so honoured and proud."
Admitting that she is a fan of the franchise, Byrne continued: "I love James Bond movies - I loved them from the Sean Connery ones. Connery is my number one Bond, there's no doubt about that.
"But my favourite Bond is Roger Moore because he is my generation, and then Pierce Brosnan as the sexy one. Daniel Craig brings a different dimension to it."
Byrne's album Mine & Yours is on course for a top 10 debut according to midweek chart figures.
