The Sivaji soundtrack was composed by A. R. Rahman. The soundtrack album includes seven tracks while the background score featured in the Tamil film Sivaji directed by S. Shankar and produced by AVM Productions.
The fourth song in the album is "Athiradee" and is sung by A. R. Rahman and Sayonara, with lyrics written by Vaali. The fifth and sixth songs of the album are titled "Sahana" and "Sahara" — one being an upbeat rendition and the other being a soulful rendition of the same number. Singing the upbeat rendition is Hindi language singer, Udit Narayan with Chinmayi while the soulful rendition singers are Vijay Yesudas and Gomathishree. Both songs have lyrics written by Vairamuthu, who was praised by Rajinikanth personally for his effort. The final song in the album is a situational theme song entitled "The Boss", sung by Naresh Iyer, Blaaze and Raqueeb Alam, with lyrics from Na. Muthukumar and Blaaze. Rahman worked with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra and choral singers in Prague for the score.
Within the first three days of the release of the Sivaji audio, over 150,000 phone treats (ringtones, truetones and wallpapers) had been downloaded. Over Rs. 5,000,000 ($117,000) was made from this. In the ringtone department, 200,000 ring tones had been downloaded as of 12 April 2007. Ringtones of the song "Athiradee" were the most popular, followed by "Vaaji Vaaji" and "Style" finishing a close third.
Released on January 8, 2010 by K. Ravichandran, distributor for the Hindi version. Lyrics were written by P. K. Mishra (his last before his untimely death), Nitin Raikwar, Iqpal Pathni, and singer Raqueeb Aalam.
As Sivaji became a major anticipated project, several false rumours about the soundtrack of the film were disseminated to websites and magazines. Despite the fact that early on during the project, Vairamuthu confirmed he had written a song called "Vaa..ji Vaa..ji Sivaji", no other major details about any other song was mentioned. Rumours went around that certain singers had sung in the project, including Rajinikanth. However, on 11 October 2006, the source, Behindwoods.com, mentioned that they had received credible information that Sivaji contained seven songs, five of which were set to be in the audio, with the other two being situational songs. Surprisingly, they also mentioned the five songs which were in the album. "Vaa...ji Vaa...ji Sivaji" was mentioned to be the opening song of the film. They also reported that a philosophical song titled "Unpeyar Ennada" was in the film, as per usual Rajinikanth films since Baba. Another song titled "Jee Boom Ba" was mentioned as its picturization was to be filmed in either foreign locations or in Karnataka featuring the lead pair. A song called "Talla Dimi Takka Dimi Pucha" was apparently supposed to contain Japanese lyrics and was set to be filmed in Japan, however the Sivaji crew did not travel to Japan for any purposes during the shoot. The final song mentioned was "Adaal Udan Pesadha Di... En Salangaiku Bhadil Solladi" and it was mentioned as a remix from another film titled Vanjikottai Valiban. Behindwoods.com claimed that this song was set to come in the climax. However none of these possible songs, barring "Vaaji Vaaji", were in the final album.
