A. R. Rahman composed the original score and the songs with lyrics by Vairamuthu. Rahman collaborated with Menon for the second time, after their critically acclaimed and successful Minsara Kanavu. The album rights were bought by Sa Re Ga Ma for a then-record sum of 2.2 crores.
The soundtrack features eight songs, including a poem by Bharathiyar, tuned by Rahman. The song "Kanamoochi" is based on Carnatic raga ragamalika, "Kandukondain Kandukondain" is based on Nalinakanthi raga, "Smayiyai" is based on jazz music, and "Enna Solla Pogirai" is a folsky and romantic number. All songs became chartbusters and "Enna Solla Pogirai" earned Shankar Mahadevan the National Film Award for Best Male Playback Singer.
