Ye Maaya Chesave is the soundtrack album of the 2010 Telugu romantic drama film of the same name, directed by Gautham Menon. The original score and songs were composed by A. R. Rahman; this was his first time collaborating with Gautham Menon. Lyrics are penned by Anantha Sreeram, along with Kalyani Menon and Kaithapram, the latter penning the Malayalam lyrics in the album. This is the sixth time that A. R. Rahman composed music for a direct Telugu film and the fourth time that he composed the entire soundtrack for a Telugu film. This also marked Rahman's comeback into Telugu cinema after six years. Ye Maaya Chesave was one of the most anticipated soundtracks of Rahman.

The album was released on 3 February, 2010 through Sony Music. The same tunes were retained in the Tamil version (Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa) and the Hindi remake (Ekk Deewana Tha) of the film. The album was met with many extremely positive responses and received high critical acclaim. The album was ranked among the best musicals of 2010 and 2011 in Asia and was also the most successful soundtrack album in India, mainly Andhra Pradesh. Ye Maaya Chesave is one of Rahman's most successful soundtracks and is his most successful Telugu album; with it, he won his first Filmfare Award in Telugu. The melodious background score also received overwhelming positive critical reception. The soundtrack album and background score were also nominated for various other awards.

The official audio of Ye Maaya Chesave was released on 3 February 2010. All the lyrics are penned by Anantha Sreeram and the Malayalam lyrics by Kaithapram and Kalyani Menon. The first song in the album is "Kundanapu Bomma", sung by Benny Dayal and Kalyani Menon, that features Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. It is placed when the duo travel to Kerala and the male character dreams about romance. This song was highly praised by critics, and it marks Benny Dayal's first original song in Telugu.
