I can’t wait to hear the entire soundtrack.
Today, Miranda Lambert released her song “Ain’t In Kansas Anymore,” which is featured on the forthcoming Twisters: The Album film soundtrack.
Of course, the movie is a follow-up to the 1996 blockbuster Twister, and features Daisy Edgar-Jones starring as Kate Cooper, and Glenn Powell starring as Tyler Owens.
“Ain’t In Kansas Anymore” definitely has a fun beat to it, and I can already tell how this will fit perfectly for the big screen. It has actually been really fun hearing so many country artists come up with original music for such a huge, feature film.
Miranda wrote it with Telemitry and Jenee Fleenor, she says it was a “fun challenge” to pen a song with a very specific purpose and vibe:
“‘Ain’t in Kansas Anymore’ from ‘Twisters: The Album’ is out now! I wrote this with my friends Telemitry and Jenee Fleenor. It’s a fun challenge to write something for a movie when there’s a specific vibe.
Also, a big thank you to my friends at Ram Trucks for supporting MuttNation’s disaster relief efforts in honor of the film.”

To be honest, “Ain’t In Kansas Anymore” isn’t the deepest, most groundbreaking song Miranda has ever written, but you do have to consider that it was written for a certain part of the movie and has to fit what they’re looking for in that perspective.
Obviously, it’s not bad by any stretch of the imagination, and as a fan, it will be really fun to hear her in the movie theaters along with all the other country stars featured alongside her.
In addition to Miranda, we’ve heard some great songs already from Megan Moroney, Tyler Childers, Lainey Wilson and Luke Combs. And actually, Luke’s song is also his current single at country radio.
Charley Crockett, The Red Clay Strays and so many more will also be featured on the lengthy 29-song tracklist, and it’s extremely impressive that they put together a group of some of the best country acts in the business right now to produce what is already a really solid movie soundtrack (and that’s pretty rare to say).
The entire album is due out everywhere on the day the film hits theaters, next Friday, July 19th.
