Background Vaazha II: Biopic of a Billion Bros featured 10 songs composed by nine musicians, which included Malayali Monkeys, Rajat Prakash, Parvatish Pradeep, Rzee, Muthu, Arcado, Jazir Muhammed, Ashwin Aryan and Electronic Kili. Ankit Menon, a frequent collaborator of Vipin Das, served as the music supervisor as he did for the sequel and the background score was credited to their team composers under the "A Team". Parvatish Pradeep composed the emotional track "Koodappirannor" which highlighted the bond between siblings. Likewise B. K. Harinarayanan was also invited to write the lyrics for the song; the lyricist had previously collaborated for "Makane" for the predecessor and Sooraj Santhosh who sang that song, was also joined to croon that number. Parvatish said that he had watched the visuals of the film, so that he had received the context and had to find the emotional space between them.
During discussions, the team were clear that the composers should not make the music similar to "Makane" and had to feel like its own independent piece. With numerous discussions between the emotional weight, melody and lyrics, Pradeep said that he was drawn from his own relationship from his brother while composing the tune, adding that he also sent the tune which connected with him immediately and that provided him the confidence to compose the tune. After the response for the song, Pradeep created a mashup of this song with "Makane" which went viral on reels and social platforms adding that it connected with the audiences. Electronic Kili also performed a reimagined version of "Eey Banane" from the first film. Likewise each composers had contributed to one song for the film, while Muthu had did two songs as a composer.
Release The first song "Vanilla Chediye" was released on 26 February 2026. The second song "Kochu Keralam" was released on 18 March. The full soundtrack was released on 3 April.
Reception Gopika Is of The Times of India wrote "The music is spot on and adds to the overall feel of the film." S. R. Praveen of The Hindu wrote "The background score and the songs by a team of artists led by Ankit Menon, go a long way in elevating many of these sequences". Anandu Suresh of The Indian Express noted that the music too deserved commendation, while praising the makers intention to not use hit tracks from the prequel, and added that "Makane" from the predecessor, "plays at the right moment, after teasing for long, it hits a home run". Vivek Santhosh of The New Indian Express felt the music did not "quite match up to the first instalment’s memorable album" except for "Vannilla Chediye" and the utilization of earlier tracks from the prequel, "remind[ed] [the audience] of what worked better before". Sanjay Ponnappa of India Today wrote "The music, songs, and especially the background score by A Team are simply outstanding." Sreeju Sudhakaran of Rediff.com wrote "Though there are perhaps one too many songs, they gel well with the narrative".
