Though the official tracklist consists of 8 songs in total, composer Anirudh Ravichander revealed in the audio launch that, there are 10 tracks in the film with two songs will be released as a part of the extended soundtrack album.

[25]

The film has JD listening to a reggae track. But Anirudh (Ravichander) wanted to compose one — he gave me the tune and asked me to pen the lyrics. I saw the scene, and began writing the song. Once we put it together, I felt it gave the star a different kind of swag, something fresh and cool. Even when we recorded the song, it had a nice energy. We were happy and chilled out while recording... I mean you usually don't get those vibes.

—  Bjorn Surrao, on the composition of the track "Master the Blaster" in an interview with The Times of India . [26]
