“Hang Tight Honey,” Lainey Wilson‘s rolled in with her Twisters track, “Out of Oklahoma.”

The track, which Lainey co-wrote with hitmakers Shane McAnally and Luke Dick, arrives alongside its cinematic music video, which interweaves Lainey’s performance clips with snippets of Twisters.

“Can’t take the home out of Oklahoma/ It’s where my soul was born to be/ No matter where I’m goin’ I’m a wild wind blowin’/ Just a-rollin’ like a tumbleweed/ Can’t take the home out of Oklahoma/ So you can’t take it out of me,” Lainey reflects over a midtempo production.

“It’s wild how life throws a theme at you ain’t it [tornado emoji] My life the past few years has felt like a twister…hence why I titled my new album Whirlwind,” Lainey shares on Instagram. “So when I got the opportunity to write a song for the new @twistersmovie, it was a challenge I couldn’t pass up.” 

“Reading [Twisters character] Kate’s story, I found a lot of parallels between our lives,” she says. “We’re both chasing wild and crazy careers, but they make us feel something and give us a sense of home.”

“Out of Oklahoma” is the latest preview of Twisters: The Album and follows Luke Combs‘ “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma,” Bailey Zimmerman‘s “Hell or High Water,” Megan Moroney‘s “Never Left Me” and Tucker Wetmore‘s “Already Had It.”

Twisters and its accompanying soundtrack will release July 19; the latter project’s available for preorder and presave now.
