The soundtrack to the film was composed by [[Yuvan Shankar Raja]].

The album features six songs overall, with Yuvan Shankar Raja himself, who stated on Twitter that the songs would be "young and fresh",<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.twitter.com/Raja_Yuvan/status/24914835327 |title=Twitter / Yuvan Shankar Raja: K2k will be out soon that' |work=Twitter |date=18 September 2010 |accessdate=20 October 2011}}</ref> having lent his voice for one of the songs. The album also features singer-composer [[Toshi Sabri]]'s first song in Tamil, which was his second collaboration with Yuvan Shankar after the song "Seheri" in ''[[Oy!]]''. Telugu singer-actor [[Anuj Gurwara]] was also supposed to have to sing one song in the film,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cinegoer.com/telugu-cinema/news-archives/may-2010/anuj-gurwara-croons-for-a-tamil-film-040510.html |title=Anuj Gurwara Croons for a Tamil Film |publisher=CineGoer.com |date=4 May 2010 |accessdate=20 October 2011}}</ref> which however, was not featured in the soundtrack album. The song "Naa Vetta Pora Aadu" was co-sung by Ragini Sri, a participant in the [[Airtel Super Singer 2008|second season]] of the reality-based singing competition [[Airtel Super Singer]], however, she was falsely credited as Roshini in the first batch of CDs.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=205287266157831&id=100000780338823 |title=Aanmelden |publisher=Facebook |accessdate=20 October 2011}}</ref>
