}}'''''Bodyguard''''' is the [[soundtrack]] to the [[Bodyguard (2011 Hindi film)|2011 film of the same name]] directed by [[Siddique Ismail]] starring [[Salman Khan]] and [[Kareena Kapoor]]. The film's soundtrack is composed by [[Himesh Reshammiya]] and [[Pritam]], with lyrics written by [[Shabbir Ahmed (lyricist)|Shabbir Ahmed]] and [[Neelesh Misra]]. The 12-song soundtrack featured four tracks used in the film, while also accompanied by remixes, alternatives and a theme music. It was released by [[T-Series (company)|T-Series]] on 27 July 2011.

== Development ==
Initially Pritam was considered to score music for the film and had curated four tunes for the film, but due to creative differences with Salman and Siddique, the former chose Himesh Reshammiya to replace Pritam as the composer. Reshammiya had collaborated with Salman on several of his films, whose music became successful. However, their last collaboration was on ''[[Kyon Ki]]'' (2005) before parting ways with Salman due to creative differences; ''Bodyguard'' marked their reunion after six years.<ref>{{cite web |author=Tuteja |first=Joginder |date=6 June 2011 |title=Himesh back with Salman after 6 years with Bodyguard |url=http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/features/2011/06/06/7562/index.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110609175721/http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/features/2011/06/06/7562/index.html |archive-date=9 June 2011 |access-date=6 June 2011 |work=Bollywood Hungama}}</ref> The film was also Reshammiya's only album not to be released under his own label HR Musik, as he was involved in the project in June 2011, and [[T-Series (company)|T-Series]] acquired the film's music rights for ₹6 crore.<ref name="eco">{{cite news |author=Raghavendra |first=Nandini |date=26 August 2011 |title=Salman Khan's 'Bodyguard' comes with 22-crore marketing budget |url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/media/entertainment-/entertainment/salman-khans-bodyguard-comes-with-rs-22-crore-marketing-budget/articleshow/9739063.cms |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121020042401/http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/media/entertainment-/entertainment/salman-khans-bodyguard-comes-with-rs-22-crore-marketing-budget/articleshow/9739063.cms |archive-date=2012-10-20 |access-date=28 August 2011 |newspaper=[[The Economic Times]]}}</ref> Since the film was set for [[Eid al-Fitr]] (31 August 2011) release, all the songs were composed within one-and-a-half months.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2011-12-22 |title=Himesh Reshammiya: Salman Khan is my driving force |url=https://www.bollywoodlife.com/interviews/himesh-reshammiya-salman-khan-is-my-driving-force-65101/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240111081329/https://www.bollywoodlife.com/interviews/himesh-reshammiya-salman-khan-is-my-driving-force-65101/ |archive-date=2024-01-11 |access-date=2024-01-11 |website=Bollywood Life |language=en}}</ref> Producer Atul Agnihotri had revealed that Pritam's composition for the film "I Love You" would be included in the soundtrack and the film as well, thereby Pritam becoming one of the contributors.<ref>{{Cite web |last=K.
