Highway is the soundtrack album, composed by A. R. Rahman, for the 2014 Hindi film of the same name, directed by Imtiaz Ali. The film stars Randeep Hooda and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles. The film is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and co-produced by Imtiaz Ali. The soundtrack, which was digitally released by the T-Series label on 24 January 2014 (2014-01-24), features nine tracks. The soundtrack, as well as the film score, garnered a positive critical response from music critics, with some calling the song "Patakha Guddi" one of the top ten songs of 2014.

Originally, the film was intended to have a background score without any songs. On the score of the film Rahman said: "The background score in Highway is more minimalist and it is not locked down to any choreography." In an interview for The Hollywood Reporter, director Imtiaz Ali stated that all of the songs on the soundtrack, except for "Sooha Saha", were recorded after filming was completed.

The track titled "Patakha Guddi" lyrically describes freedom and holds abstracts of purity and wildness. "Maahi Ve" is a ballad focused on Veera (played by Alia Bhatt) and Mahabir (played by Randeep Hooda) as they go through the journey together. The track "Maahi Ve" was not even part of the film originally. After improvising a 20-minute track "Patakha Guddi", the composer decided that the last portion of it could be developed into a completely different song, despite knowing there might not be any place for it in the film. Hence, the rhythms of both the songs are similar. According to composer Rahman, he used a region as musical inspiration, while for others, he used the characters as the jumping off point to creating a song. In an interview with The Indian Express, Rahman said:
