The film's soundtrack album was composed by Anu Malik.

The hit song "I Love You, I Love You" was copied from Pakistani Qawwali singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's "Allah Hoo, Allah Hoo".[2] While he usually tolerated Indian music directors like Anu Malik copying his songs,[2][3] Khan was reportedly aggrieved when Malik turned his spiritual "Allah Hoo, Allah Hoo" into "I Love You, I Love You".[2] Khan said "he has taken my devotional song Allahu and converted it into I love you. He should at least respect my religious songs."[3]
