Raayan is the soundtrack album composed by A. R. Rahman for the 2024 Tamil-language film of the same name, directed and starring Dhanush, alongside an ensemble cast which includes Prakash Raj, S. J. Suryah, Selvaraghavan, Sundeep Kishan, Dushara Vijayan, Kalidas Jayaram, Aparna Balamurali, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar and Saravanan.

[1] Initially, Sean Roldan was intended to compose the film's score as he previously worked with Dhanush on Pa Paandi and Velaiilla Pattadhari 2 (both 2017),[2] but was ousted as the project suffered financial problems under Thenandal Studio Limited, the former producer.

[5] During the musical discussions, Dhanush recalled that whenever he needed a tune, he would play one of his songs and ask for a similar one, but Rahman instead opined to do something fresh and original, which amazed the actor.

Street musician Gana Kadhar made his debut in the Tamil film music scene, by writing lyrics for the song "Water Packet".

[16] On 27 July 2024, Rahman and his team hosted a concert at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to commemorate his 32nd year of his film music career.

"[24] Sowmya Rajendran of The News Minute wrote "AR Rahman's background score works well for the big and small moments" but found the song placements to be forced.
