Jawan is the soundtrack album, composed by Anirudh Ravichander to the 2023 Hindi film of the same name, directed by Atlee starring Shah Rukh Khan, Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi in lead roles.

Shah Rukh sir is being villainic, and then suddenly within a few seconds, there's a story of a farmer happening somewhere else [...] The main challenge that we faced in Jawan was how we're going to connect these things together musically so that it seems seamless for the audience".

[12] Anirudh revealed that he met Rao for recording the track, as per Khan's suggestion as she had earlier performed "Besharam Rang" in Pathaan (2023).

[18] As featured in the two-minute promo video and separately released as "Jawan Prevue Theme" in July 2023,[19] she performed the track at a concert held in Brooklyn, New York later that month.

[20] The whistle interlude that opened the theme, is performed by Vinay Sridhar, who worked with Anirudh as a sound engineer in his previous ventures.

[21] The track "Faraatta" featuring was sung by Arijit Singh and Jonita Gandhi, with rap written and performed by Badshah.

[28][29] At the same month, she also choreographed the song "Faraatta" featuring Khan and Deepika Padukone which was shot at the Film City, Mumbai.

[30][31] The song "Not Ramaiya Vastavaiya" was shot at the Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai during July 2023, choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant.

Meera Venugopal of Radio Mirchi wrote "Jawan has an exquisite blend of tracks, each contributing to the album's unique identity.

"[46] Trisha Bhattacharya of India Today wrote "Each song finds its ideal spot within the narrative, contributing significantly to the storyline.

"[47] Renuka Vyahare of The Times of India said that the music complimented the "style and nature" with "Zinda Banda" and "Chaleya" being the best picks from the album; the latter was however criticised of its poor placement.

[48] Proma Khosla of IndieWire wrote "Anirudh's propulsive soundtrack entertains throughout" and called the title track, as the "catchiest" of all themes.

[65][66] After the song "Zinda Banda" was released in July 2023, the hook step choreographed by Shobi Paulraj and performed by Khan in the music video went viral.
