What Song Is Playing In The New Twisters Trailer?

Twisters latest trailer highlights a new song for the film’s soundtrack, showcasing yet another way the sequel is updating the original. Twisters seems to be maintaining much of the original spirit of the 1996 disaster film with its strong cast and breakneck pacing. However, much of the film seems to be adding in new ideas to take this classic disaster story into the modern era.

Having two tornadoes over one is a strong upgrade for the movie, adding further danger and thrilling possibilities to the film’s simple premise. The use of new technology in the Twisters trailer also adds exciting elements to the plot as the characters struggle against this force of nature. However, one smaller aspect that seems to be shifting in the film is the soundtrack, starting with the trailer’s newest song.

Luke Combs’ New Song “Ain’t No Love In Oklahoma” Is In The Twisters Trailer

Luke Combs Is Known For His Country Song “Fast Car”

Combs’ new song was featured in the trailer and the album will be available in physical form and digital download on May 16th, 2024. Combs announced the song’s release on his Instagram, stating how the music video and downloadable options were to follow. The song was featured in parts as Tyler Owens (Glen Powell) discussed his approach to tornado wrangling with another Twisters character, who remained offscreen. The song is set to be released on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music, with the film’s album currently being available for pre-order in vinyl form at Twisters official online store.

The New Twisters Soundtrack Is Leaning A Lot More Country Than The Original

The Original Twister Soundtrack Had More Rock Influences

Though Twisters maintains some connection to the 1990s movie, the film’s soundtrack’s clear departure from rock in favor of country may speak to how the film plans to shift its tone from the original. Twister has several notable hard and punk rock bands on its soundtrack, including icons like Van Halen, Stevie Nicks, and Goo Goo Dolls. Each of their contributions added further pressure to pivotal scenes, giving the film an overall sense of panic and intensity as the characters tracked and tried to escape the tornado.

Conversely, the release of this new song shows how Twisters’ country influences will not only better match its Oklahoma setting, but may also allow the film to lean more into action genre territory. Combs’ new song carries a sense of perseverance and strength, which is not only well paired with Glen Powell’s Twisters character but speaks to how the characters take on the twin tornadoes through their skills and reliance on each other. This could shift the film’s tone significantly, as the music could recontextualize the action into something thrilling, energizing viewers as the characters find creative solutions to survive.
