'''''7aum Arivu''''' is the [[soundtrack]] to the [[7aum Arivu|2011 film of the same name]] directed by [[AR Murugadoss|A. R. Murugadoss]] and starred [[Suriya (actor)|Suriya]], [[Johnny Trí Nguyễn]] and [[Shruti Haasan]]. The music and original score is composed by [[Harris Jayaraj]] in his second collaboration with Murugadoss after ''[[Ghajini (2005 film)|Ghajini]]'' (2005). The film consisted of six tracks written by [[Pa. Vijay]], [[Na. Muthukumar]], Kabilan and [[Madhan Karky]], the latter wrote a song in Chinese language. The soundtrack was released at the launch event held in [[Chennai Trade Centre]] on 22 September 2011, with [[Sony Music India]] distributing the album in digital and physical formats. The soundtrack to the Telugu-dubbed version '''''7th Sense''''' was also released on the same date.

== Development ==
Murugadoss and Jayaraj went to [[Singapore]] during June 2010 to compose the songs for the film.<ref>{{cite web |title=SURIYA TO GET THE BEST FROM HARRIS |url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news-1/jun-10-02/suriya-ezham-arivu-harris-jayraj-09-06-10.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110407003328/http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news-1/jun-10-02/suriya-ezham-arivu-harris-jayraj-09-06-10.html |archive-date=7 April 2011 |access-date=9 August 2011 |website=Behindwoods.com}}</ref> Each tracks consisted of varied genres with some of the songs which were shot in Chennai, as well as in Thailand and Hong Kong.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |title='7aum Arivu' to have a song in Chinese |language=en-IN |work=The Hindu |url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/7aum-arivu-to-have-a-song-in-chinese/article2434898.ece |access-date=17 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125092327/https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/7aum-arivu-to-have-a-song-in-chinese/article2434898.ece |archive-date=25 January 2021 |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

As Murugadoss wanted to hire Chinese lyricists to write a song in [[Mandarin Chinese]], Karky mentioned to Jayaraj that he could write a Chinese song, as he had cleared basic levels of Chinese language when he pursued [[master's degree]] at the [[University of Queensland]] in 2003. Karky recalled that the situation Harris narrated to him—which is about a "wonder-struck Chinese girl describing a hero from India"— was interesting, and immediately penned few lines of the lyrics, which got checked by a Chinese teacher.<ref name=":1">{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/66743.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110518021720/http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/66743.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=18 May 2011|title=7am Arivu with a Chinese Track|website=IndiaGlitz|access-date=9 August 2011}}</ref> The song was recorded by Chinese singer [[Wang Hao (singer)|Hao Wang]] in May 2011, while Jayaraj used authentic Chinese instruments to evoke an "oriental flavour".<ref name=":0" /> The final mix of the score was completed by August 2011.<ref name=":2" />
