Neethaane En Ponvasantham (You are my Golden Spring) is the soundtrack album, composed by Ilaiyaraaja, to the Indian romance film of the same name, directed by Gautham Menon that stars Jiiva and Samantha. The album features eight tracks, with lyrics penned by Na. Muthukumar. The album became one of the most anticipated musicals of 2012 in Tamil cinema. It was released during a live concert on 1 September 2012. The film's Telugu version, Yeto Vellipoyindhi Manasu, also directed by Gautham Menon, reuses the same soundtrack.
A. R. Rahman was initially signed in to compose music for the film. But due to his packed schedules, Rahman had to opt out of the project. Menon thus approached Ilaiyaraaja to compose music for the film. The film marked the first-time collaboration of Menon and Ilaiyaraaja. Menon further clarified that he had decided to rope in Ilaiyaraaja for Neethaane En Ponvasantham, while working on the scriptment of the film already.
Ilaiyaaraja instantaneously composed the songs on harmonium with the singers in Chennai. In London, the rest of the recording with the background score was completed at the Angel Studios for which Anglo-Indian Music Productions was hired, providing singers, an 108-piece orchestra and percussion. The 108-piece live symphony orchestral music was revealed to be the opening part of a song. A children's choir was also used as backing vocals in a song. Reports surfaced that the leading pair had lent their voices for the title track in the film, but the lead actress denied the rumour.Karthik stated that he had sung two songs for the film and the respective Telugu version as well. All lyrics were penned by Na. Muthukumar, replacing film director Gautham Menon's usual associate lyricist Thamarai for the first time.
