The album will feature a high-impact, multi-composer lineup aimed at crafting a powerful sonic identity. Composer Ravi Basrur, known for his commanding background scores, will deliver one song along with the film’s background score, ensuring a cohesive and intense musical backbone. Vishal Mishra will compose four tracks, bringing emotional depth and contemporary appeal.
Meanwhile, Tanishk Bagchi contributes a track co-composed with Arslan Nizami and Faheem Abdullah, blending mass energy with modern soundscapes.
Together, the composers aim to create genre-defining tracks that serve as storytelling extensions rather than standalone songs. The music is expected to deepen the cinematic universe of Toxic, functioning as emotional and narrative bridges that connect audiences more intimately with its characters and themes.

According to Parekh, bringing the entire soundtrack across Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam under one unified platform ensures a seamless nationwide musical rollout. He added that the album has been crafted to emotionally connect across diverse markets while retaining a contemporary, mass appeal suited to today’s streaming-driven ecosystem. With its intensity and cross-cultural soundscape, the music of Toxic is positioned to become a unifying anthem across India.
Venkat K. Narayana, Chairman of KVN Productions, echoed similar sentiments, stating that Toxic demands a bold, disruptive, and unforgettable soundscape. He stressed that at KVN, music is viewed not as an accompaniment but as the pulse of cinema itself. In Zee Music, the production house believes it has found a partner that shares the same ambition and scale.

The glimpse sparked massive online engagement within 24 hours, generating widespread fan theories and detailed frame-by-frame analyses.
