Most of the film's music, which is composed by A R Rahman, was recorded on set with the actors singing live. Imtiaz Ali said it was important to have actors who could sing and Diljit and Parineeti were perfect.

"It was inevitable that the actors had to be the singers. So, if Diljit wasn't in the film, then I don't know whether the film could be made. He's an authentic singer from Punjab who understands life, the cultural context and the linguistics of Chamkila better than anybody. It has been an interesting journey with him on this film."
