==Conception, development and production==
[[Shantanu Moitra]] began composing the score in April 2017, after hearing the film's script. Sircar's preoccupation with love and nature are among the factors which attracted Moitra to the project. Additionally, he wanted to experiment with the element of "silence" in the background score. He said, "There is so much artificially created noise around us, under which sensitive, beautiful emotions get buried. ''October'' gave me an opportunity to move away from the chaos." Speaking about the theme behind the score, Moitra said, "We didn't want a reference melody. We wanted the theme to be in place. Once the theme was ready, the rest of the background score emerged from that."<ref name="Shantanu Interview">{{cite news|last=Ghosh|first=Devarsi|date=1 April 2018|title=The Shantanu Moitra interview: 'The word "hit" has an aggressiveness I don't like'|url=https://scroll.in/reel/873639/the-shantanu-moitra-interview-the-word-hit-has-an-aggressiveness-i-dont-like|url-status=live|work=[[Scroll.in]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180728103710/https://scroll.in/reel/873639/the-shantanu-moitra-interview-the-word-hit-has-an-aggressiveness-i-dont-like|archive-date=28 July 2018|access-date=28 July 2018}}</ref>

==Composition==
Along with the score, Moitra also composed "October (Theme Music)", a violin-led instrumental track. In his own words, he was "happy" that the theme was included in the album. He composed two more tracks. "Manwaa", penned by Moitra's frequent collaborator [[Swanand Kirkire]], progresses without a rhythm section until the percussion kicks in midway. On comparing the composition of the song with his earlier composition "Naam Adaa Likhna" from the film [[Yahaan]], Moitra said, “Earlier, at the time of Yahaan, there wasn’t the pressure, but now, the thinking is that people won’t listen to a song unless there is a groove of some kind but I don’t think so.” "Chal", another song composed by Moitra, is an upbeat retro-funk track created with a “Nazia Hassan-like soundscape” in mind.<ref name="Shantanu Interview"/>
