Awas! da' Soundtrack is a fourth studio album by Malaysian boy band, KRU and a soundtrack album for the 1995 film of the same name starring the KRU brothers.[1] It was released on 15 June 1995 by EMI Music Malaysia. The soundtrack consists of 11 new tracks and rearrangements of two songs from their third album and debut EP, Awas!.

For the album, KRU experimented in order to create something different from their previous albums. Awas! da' Soundtrack contains 11 new songs while the remaining two are rearrangements of songs from their third album and debut extended play (EP), Awas!, namely "Di Dalam Dilema" and "Awas!", which both are the remixed versions.[2][3] They spent about RM70,000 to produce the soundtrack.[4] Norman said of the soundtrack album: "We are especially pleased with the harmonising ad-libbing and delivery in the songs. We really concentrated on the album and this is the best we can give".[5]

The album was recorded at their own studio in Kuala Lumpur and produced by the KRU brothers themselves, which they also handles arrangement and serves as the recording engineer.[6][7] The mixing process was done at the Los Angeles, California, United States by Martin Horenburg and mastered by Bernie Grundman in Hollywood, California.[6]
