The film has seven songs composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy with lyrics written by Javed Akhtar. Two of the original songs, "Khaike Paan Banaraswala" and "Yeh Mera Dil" were remade for the movie. The album overall, is very contemporary, stylish and racy. Composers have taken care to maintain the essence of the old Don.

Two of the tracks were redone for the movie, which was originally composed by the duo of Kalyanji Anandji. Shahrukh Khan has rapped in the retro track Khaike Paan Banaraswala, the remix of the old classic, who rendered the song along with Udit Narayan.Yeh Mera Dil, sung by Sunidhi Chauhan, is the second remix of the album, which was originally sung by Asha Bhosle.

The song Mourya Re, sung by Shankar Mahadevan is a Ganpati song set big in Mumbai. Then there is Aaj Ki Raat, sung by Alisha Chinai, Mahalakshmi Iyer & Sonu Nigam, which has a trendy 1980's.club feel to it. The title song, Main Hoon Don, which falls in a rave, techno, industrial genre, is rendered by Shaan. The Don Revisited track was composed by MIDIval Punditz and the remix of the title track was done by DJ Randolph.

The music was released on 26 August 2006 by T-Series, at the Inorbit Mall, Malad, Mumbai. Over 30000 people attended the function.
