3 is the debut soundtrack album composed by Anirudh Ravichander, which features lyrics by Vijay, for the 2012 Indian Tamil film of the same name, starring Dhanush and Shruti Hassan, and was directed by Dhanush's wife Aishwaryaa R. Dhanush. The film features seven songs, with three instrumental compositions.
The single track, "Why This Kolaveri Di" was released on 16 November 2011, prior to the soundtrack release, and became one of the most streamed songs of all-time. It was officially released, after a leaked version, becoming popular on the internet. All the songs have lyrics written by Dhanush, except "Idhazhin Oram" was written by Aishwarya Dhanush.
The entire soundtrack album was released on 23 December 2011, and gained positive reviews. Behindwoods.com, listed the soundtrack album of 3, as one of the composer's best works till date. It also fetched the Filmfare Award for Best Music Director for Anirudh Ravichander, and Best Male Playback Singer for Dhanush.
Following the success of the original version, the dubbed versions of the soundtrack was released in Telugu and Hindi, with the lyrics for the Hindi version was written by Kumaar and Telugu version was written by Bhuvanachandra.
According to the composer Anirudh, the film's director Aishwarya R. Dhanush, wanted a light hearted song about love failure, with the former quickly composed the tune within 10 minutes. Dhanush then began working on the lyrics, for about 20 minutes, in which the first line he sang was "Why This Kolaveri?" (transl. Why this murderous rage, Girl?). Dhanush sang the song in broken English, as a Tamil person might if his knowledge of English was limited. The song is also called a 'Soup' song, where 'Soup' is a colloquial Tamil word which refers to young men experiencing love failure after a beautiful relationship.
When I was writing down the lyrics, I kept in mind all the English words that are used in the Tamil vocabulary. Words like I, you, me, how, why, cow. I just framed them into sentences and thats how I came up with the song.
— Dhanush, in an interview with The Times of India, about penning the lyrics for "Why This Kolaveri Di",
All the songs in the film were recorded at A. R. Rahman's AM Studios in Chennai. The song "Why This Kolaveri Di", which was adjusted in downtempo has been built around an ancient south Indian folk rhythm using ancient folk instruments like nadaswaram, shehnai, saxophone, urumee, thavil, drums, acoustic guitar, keyboards mixed with electronic synths and scratches, utilizing the singing style of Tamil folk culture. The words of the song are in a simple form of Tanglish, a mixture of Tamil and English, which strikes a chord with the college students that lap up songs in this genre. The words have been described as "nonsensical" by some and an evocation of "Tamil street humour". Dhanush has stated that the choice of words allows it to be a very relatable song.
