"Ain't No Love in Oklahoma" is a song recorded by American country music singer Luke Combs. It was released on May 20, 2024, as the lead single from Twisters: The Album, the soundtrack album for the 2024 movie Twisters.[1] Combs co-wrote the song with Jessi Alexander and Jonathan Singleton, and co-produced it with Singleton and Chip Matthews.

Background

Combs co-wrote the song with Jessi Alexander and Jonathan Singleton specifically for the film Twisters,[2] a present-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]
