"Ain't No Love in Oklahoma" is a song recorded by American country music singer Luke Combs. It was released in May 2024 as the lead single from Twisters: The Album, the forthcoming soundtrack album for the 2024 movie Twisters.[1] It was written by Combs, Jessi Alexander, and Jonathan Singleton, and was produced by Combs, Singleton, and Chip Matthew.
Background[edit]
Combs co-wrote the song with Jessi Alexander and Jonathan Singleton specifically for the film Twisters,[2] a current-day chapter of the 1996 film Twister.[3] Described as a "country-rocker", the lyrics describe both the dangers of storm chasing and the thrill of the chase.[4] In an interview with Audacy, Inc., Combs said that "this song is about everything that I think this movie is about. High-energy, high-octane, I think the song really musically matches that vibe. It's really sort of abstract, lyrically speaking, I think that was done intentionally. We were really just trying to sonically match the vibe that they were looking for with this film."[5]
Music video[edit]
The music video for "Ain't No Love in Oklahoma" was directed by Alex Bittan and premiered on May 16, 2024.[6] The video features footage from Twisters interspersed with stormy performance footage of Combs singing the song.[2]
