The soundtrack, features 9 songs composed by A. R. Rahman and lyrics penned by Vaali, Vairamuthu, Shankar and Thirikudarasappa Kavirayar.

[2][3] The Hindi version, Humse Hai Muqabala, sold 2.5 million soundtrack album units in India.

Vaali generously accepted Shankar's request and penned Muqabla and Urvashi song which both became chartbusters.

During the recording of the song "Mukkabla", Rahman wanted Mano's voice to sound like R. D. Burman's as a means to distance him from S. P. Balasubrahmanyam, to who he was frequently compared.

Owing to the success and immense national popularity of the song "Mukkabla", the soundtrack was subsequently dubbed in Hindi as Humse Hai Muqabala and in Telugu as Premikudu.
