Development
The film's primary contributor of music was Manan Bhardwaj, who earlier worked on curating independent singles and being part of multi-composer soundtracks for T-Series.{{Cite web |author=Dharitri Ganguly |date=2023-10-20 |title=Lyricist and composer Manan Bhardwaj on Yaariyan 2 |url=https://www.indulgexpress.com/culture/music/2023/oct/20/lyricist-and-composer-manan-bhardwajonyaariyan2-54337.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231024022442/https://www.indulgexpress.com/culture/music/2023/oct/20/lyricist-and-composer-manan-bhardwajonyaariyan2-54337.html |archive-date=2023-10-24 |access-date=2023-10-20 |website=www.indulgexpress.com |language=en}} When he completed working on "Dhokha" composed by Arijit Singh for the label, one of the executives from the label, asked to compose a song that depicted the brother-sister relationship.{{Cite web |date=2023-09-09 |title=Music Composer-Songwriter Manan Bhardwaj On Yaariyan 2 Music Album: 'There Is Something For Everyone' {{!}} Exclusive |url=https://www.news18.com/movies/music-composer-songwriter-manan-bhardwaj-on-yaariyan-2-music-album-there-is-something-for-everyone-exclusive-8570868.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230910020544/https://www.news18.com/movies/music-composer-songwriter-manan-bhardwaj-on-yaariyan-2-music-album-there-is-something-for-everyone-exclusive-8570868.html |archive-date=2023-09-10 |access-date=2023-09-10 |website=News18 |language=en}} While Bhardwaj mistakenly identified it as it was for some independent single, he worked on the mukhda of the song (later deciphered as "Saure Ghar") and sent to Bhushan Kumar. The latter immediately liked it and insisted to work in few other songs for the film as well. This resulted in him curating seven songs for the film and its album, being the predominant contributor. Since he had worked on one or few songs in multi-composer albums, the curation was a long process, but he enjoyed it thoroughly.
According to Bhardwaj, each song "emotes differently and explains the story itself", describing the characters and their relationships. Bhardwaj curated so many tunes and well as experimented in the lyrical writing so that he would be connected to his melodies. Bhardwaj called it as "a beautifully diversified and wonderful music album." The song "Sunny Sunny" which was composed for its predecessor, by Yo Yo Honey Singh had been remade for the film as "Sunny Sunny 2.0" and "Blue Hai Paani Paani", respectively. Singh composed the remake versions with music producer Khaalif, while the only original song "Kho Sa Gaya Hoon" was composed with Bhardwaj.{{Cite news |date=2024-09-02 |title=Yo Yo Honey Singh reveals the "most stupid" song of his career |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/yo-yo-honey-singh-reveals-the-most-stupid-song-of-his-career/articleshow/112997744.cms |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240904064056/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/yo-yo-honey-singh-reveals-the-most-stupid-song-of-his-career/articleshow/112997744.cms |archive-date=2024-09-04 |access-date=2025-02-07 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}{{Cite web |date=2024-09-02 |title=Honey Singh: 'Blue Hai Paani Paani' is the most stupid song I ever wrote |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/bollywood/story/honey-singh-blue-hai-paani-paani-most-stupid-song-i-ever-wrote-2592224-2024-09-02 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240905063400/https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/bollywood/story/honey-singh-blue-hai-paani-paani-most-stupid-song-i-ever-wrote-2592224-2024-09-02 |archive-date=2024-09-05 |access-date=2025-02-07 |website=India Today |language=en}}
