[1] The soundtrack was predominantly curated by Vanga himself, who insisted Bhushan Kumar, the film's producer not to interfere during the entire process and would rework on the album if disapproved.

[11] The second song "Satranga" composed by Shreyas Puranik, written by Siddharth–Garima (who also served as the film's dialogue writer) and sung by Arijit Singh was released on 28 October 2023.

[16] Composed by Harshavardhan Rameshwar, who previously worked with Vanga on Arjun Reddy (2017) and its remake Kabir Singh (2019), the song was performed by Sonu Nigam and written by Raj Shekhar.

[19] Bhupinder Babbal wrote and sang the track,[20][b] composed by Manan Bhardwaj,[22][23] which was rooted in Sikh history, and weaves together elements of the film's narrative.

Arjan, hailing from Jagraon near Ludhiana, took up the mantle after his father's death, engaging in battles for the Sikh Empire against the formidable Mughals.

The song is structured in the style of Dhadi–Vaar music, traditionally used by Guru Gobind Singh as a war cry against the Mughals to uplift the spirits of his people, where the lyrics signifies an exceptionally fierce individual unbound by conventional laws.
