Background

[edit]

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]
