Background
The soundtrack and background score were composed by Satish Chakravarthy. T. Siva and Sripathy listened to Satish's compositions for Leelai and felt impressed by it. Sripathy then narrated the script to Kanimozhi and felt that "the story was unique and would offer me great scope to come up with good melodies and a meaningful background score."[1] He then signed the project after ten minutes of meeting the producer and director.[2] He composed the tunes in early 2010 and performed it at the film's launch.[3]
Satish added that he was impressed with Sripathi's confidence in making silence eloquent in the score, as a result, "the music becomes a character in the film".[1] The producers emphasized on live sound recording over dubbing, resulted in Satish emphasizing on background music.[1] The music and background score was recorded and mixed at Yashraj Studios in Mumbai and audiographed by Anandar Chandrahasan, while mastering was held at the Sterling Sound in Los Angeles.[4] The song "Muzhumadhi" was recorded at the AVM Studios in Mumbai during the last leg of production.[5]

Release
Kanimozhi was Satish's first soundtrack to be released as his previous album Leelai was delayed.[6] The album was released on 18 August 2010 at Kalaignar Arangam in Anna Arivalayam, Teynampet, Chennai.[7] The event was felicitated by the then-Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu M. Karunanidhi and actor Vijay as the chief guest, along with director K. Balachander, actors Prakash Raj, R. Parthiban, producer M. Saravanan, former Tamil Film Producers Council president Rama Narayanan in attendance besides the cast and crew.[8] However, former MP M. K. Kanimozhi (on whose name the film was titled) did not attend the event as she was in Delhi during that time.[8] Karunanidhi and Vijay received the first copy of the soundtrack.[8] An animated trailer and three songs were screened at the event.[9] The music of the Telugu version Love Journey was released at a Celebrity Cricket League match in Visakhapatnam. All the songs from the original version were retained with different singers for the Telugu version, while lyrics were written by Vennelakanti and Bhuvanachandra.[10]

Reception
Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog wrote "Composer Satish Chakravarthy's debut, Leelai, was average. He ups the stake, albeit very mildly, with his second, Kanimozhi."[11] Karthik Subramanian of The Hindu wrote "The music by Sathish Chakravarthy though is above par — especially the song 'Muzhumathi' sung by Vijay Yesudas and Bal Shende, and written by Na. Muthukumar."[12] Pavithra Srinivasan of Rediff.com added "Sathish Chakravarthi's music fits the bill".[13] Sify stated: "Music by Sathish Chakravarthy are just about ok but come as speed breakers."[14] The New Indian Express wrote "Satish Chakaravarthy makes a promising debut as a music composer. His tunes are varied and peppy in this film."[15]
