180 is the soundtrack to the 2011 film of the same name starring Siddharth, Nithya Menen, Priya Anand and directed by Jayendra Panchapakesan in his feature directorial debut.

The soundtrack, which was distributed by Think Music, a subsidiary of the Indian multiplex chain Sathyam Cinemas (which was one of the film's producers), released on 14 April 2011 at a launch event in Chennai, while the Telugu version was unveiled a week later.

The soundtrack met with positive response from critics and audience, particularly the song "Nee Korinaal", receiving nominations for Best Lyricist for Karky, and Best Female Playback Singer for Shweta Mohan at the 59th Filmfare Awards South.

[2] The song "Rules Kidayadhu" performed by Tippu was shot over 1500 frames, which cinematographer Balasubramaniem called it as an "uphill task" and also difficult to choreograph.

Pavithra Srinivasan of Rediff gave the album a score of three stars out of five and quoted "Sharreth seems to be a music composer who doesn't play by the rules; he veers this way and that in his songs, which actually provides spice and makes for an interesting listening experience.
