Tornado

This Natalie Hemby and Delta Maid penned song is the title track of American Country music group Little Big Town's fifth album. Karen Fairchild explained to The Boot why they named the record after this cut. "It came about as a title because, of course, it's a song on the record," she explained. "But the process also kind of felt like a storm. Fast and furious and overwhelming and quickly gone. It feels like there's a really good storm brewing in our camp. Something that comes through every once in a while and it's really good, but it's powerful and just a change in the air twirling around. It's a tornado in a good way."

The song compares a scorned woman to a force of nature, and features an ominous chorus in which the protagonist threatens to destroy the house that she shares with her wayward man. "Natalie played it for us one night and we were like, man, I don't think I've ever heard a chick say, 'I'm a tornado,'" said Fairchild.

At the studio where this was recorded, there's a little hole in the wall that you go through to get to the echo chamber, where there are microphones set up. Kimberly Schlapman and Jimi Westbrook used the space to create the spooky whistles for this song.
