Paiyaa is the soundtrack to the 2010 Indian Tamil-language film of the same name, directed by N. Linguswamy and starring Karthi and Tamannaah Bhatia. The soundtrack album originally includes five songs composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja and was released on 12 February 2010. The release coincided with a promotional event held at SPI Cinemas in Chennai.
The soundtrack album was marketed under the Chennai-based Think Music record label, which was founded in 2007, thus becoming their 50th album.[1] During a press conference held by Think Music in mid-March 2010, it was announced that, thanks to the enormous success of the audio, an additional track has been composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja and included in the film at an appropriate place.[2] The new CD including the new track, titled "Yedho Ondru", was released during the release of the film in early April.[3] In 2011, Sony Music India got the rights to the soundtrack.[4]
