Work on the film's soundtrack began during June 2020, when government allowed to resume post-production works which were affected due to the nationwide lockdown due to COVID-19.[4] The first song "Chellamma" was recorded during this intermediate period and was released as the first single.[5] The promotion for the single was done in an interesting way, where an announcement video about the song released on 22 July 2020, featuring Anirudh, Sivakarthikeyan and Nelson.[6] The song was penned by Sivakarthikeyan which had lines about TikTok ban,[7] himself and was sung by Anirudh and Jonita Gandhi.[8] It was released on 24 July 2020,[9] through music streaming platforms and YouTube.[10]

Following the response to the track,[11] the makers unveiled the second single titled "Nenjame", a montage track, on 28 August 2020.[12][13] A promotional video directed by Nelson and filmed by Vijay Kartik Kannan, the film's cinematographer, the video was shot at the Edward Elliot's Beach in Chennai adhering to the COVID-19 safety guidelines.[14] Sivakarthikeyan and Priyanka Arul Mohan appeared in the music video which was shot in monochrome.[14] It features vocals by the composer Anirudh Ravichander, whilst lyrics by Mohan Rajan.

The team came up with another announcement video on 22 February 2021, after the composer tweeted about the single, the previous day.[15] Anirudh Ravichander later described it as being a mix of classical and western fusion in the video,[16] which later becoming titled as "So Baby". The song was released on 26 February 2021.[17] In March 2021, Anirudh Ravichander tweeted that he is working for the fourth song sung by Arivu, which will mark their second collaboration after "Vaathi Raid" from Master (2021).[18] This song is scheduled to be released as the fourth single from the film, however did not make it to the final track list.[2]

"Soul of Doctor", a theme track featured in the trailer received unanimous praise from the listeners, and owing to the response, the makers released the track as a separate single from the album on 27 September 2021.[19] The song featured a classical music-background score with Jathi in the beginning of the track, similar to the verses featured in "So Baby".[19] While the original song was voiced by violinist, Ananthakrrishnan, who worked in the composer's Albuquerque Records music studio, "Soul of Doctor" was sung by Niranjana Ramanan.[20][21]

The music and score received positive reviews from critics, with Haricharan Pudipeddi of Hindustan Times said that "it holds the film together".[31] A reviewer from Sify stated: "Music by Anirudh is another biggest strength of the film although there are only three songs.
