'''''Peranbu (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)''''' is the [[soundtrack album]] to the 2019 film [[Peranbu|of the same name]] directed by [[Ram (director)|Ram]] and produced by [[P. L. Thenappan]] starring [[Mammootty]] and [[Anjali (actress)|Anjali]]. The film's soundtrack is composed by [[Yuvan Shankar Raja]] with lyrics written by [[Vairamuthu]], [[Sumathy Ram]] and Karunakaran. The soundtrack was released under the [[Saregama]] record label on 15 July 2018 to positive reviews from critics and Yuvan won the [[Ananda Vikatan Cinema Awards|Ananda Vikatan Cinema Award for Best Music Director]] and was nominated for the [[SIIMA Award for Best Music Director – Tamil|SIIMA Award for Best Music Director]].

== Development ==
For the film's musical score and soundtrack, Ram renewed his association with Yuvan Shankar Raja who previously worked with him in ''[[Kattradhu Thamizh]]'' (2007), ''[[Thanga Meenkal]]'' (2013) and ''[[Taramani (film)|Taramani]]'' (2017).<ref name=":0">{{cite web |author=Ashameera Aiyappan |date=16 July 2018 |title=It took me 20 years to make a film with Mammootty: Ram at Peranbu audio launch |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/tamil/mammootty-peranbu-audio-launch-5261698/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230709083524/https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/tamil/mammootty-peranbu-audio-launch-5261698/ |archive-date=9 July 2023 |accessdate=17 July 2018 |work=[[The Indian Express]]}}</ref> Their norm lyricist [[Na. Muthukumar]] died in August 2016. As a result, the film's four-song soundtrack featured lyrics written by [[Vairamuthu]], [[Sumathy Ram]] and Karunakaran who would collaborate with the director-composer in their maiden associations.

Yuvan started working on the film's music and background score during September 2017, when the film was under post-production.<ref>{{cite web |author=S.
