Lingaa is the soundtrack album, composed by A. R. Rahman, to the 2014 Indian Tamil film of the same name written and directed by K. S. Ravikumar. The soundtrack album consists of five tracks, out of which, four had lyrics by Vairamuthu while the fifth was written by his son Madhan Karky. According to Rahman, as the film is set in different time zones, the music composed works around these time.
According to Rahman, Rajinikanth did not want to include the first version of the song "Oh Nanba" in the film as he felt that it was more of a song suited for a younger generation actor. Rahman, as a result, reworked the entire song to suit Rajinikanth. The song, which was the introduction song in the film and was the last song to be recorded, was a combination of tunes similar to those composed by M. S. Viswanathan, and of EDM genre of music. For the song, "En Mannava", Rahman tried to compose it in the Hindustani classical genre using different ragas like Bilaskhani Todi and Durbari, but the film's director, K. S. Ravikumar, insisted that the song, which is a period song in the pre-independence portions of the film, should have a contemporary feel so as to make the audience like it. Hence Rahman made it as a folk song.The track "Indiane Vaa" was originally sung by Haricharan and Rahman liked Haricharan's rendition of the song and said the same about it to Ravikumar, who said that Rahman himself should sing the song as he felt that it suited Rahman's style of singing. Rahman agreed to Ravikumar's suggestion and sang the final version of the song himself. The song "Mona Gasolina" was in the genre of Latin American music. For the track "Unmai Oru Naal", Rahman composed seven tunes for Ravikumar to choose.In the scene where Raja Lingeshwaran hosts a party inviting the governor, and speaks to him, the piano cover is the composition Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Piano Sonata 11 in A Major K.33.
