Kick is the soundtrack to the 2014 film of the same name directed and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala (in his directorial debut). An adaptation of the eponymous 2009 Telugu film, it stars Salman Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Randeep Hooda and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. The soundtrack features 18 songs, with five original tracks curated by Himesh Reshammiya, Meet Bros. Anjjan and Yo Yo Honey Singh and written by Kumaar, Shabbir Ahmed, Mayur Puri, Yo Yo Honey Singh and Jasmine Sandlas. The remainder is accompanied by remixes and alternate versions of those original tracks. T-Series released the soundtrack album on 27 June 2014.

Background and release[edit]

Kick marked Khan's return to playback singing after 25 years; his previous stint as a singer was for the song "Chandi Ki Daal Par" from Hello Brother (1999).[1] The first song "Jumme Ki Raat" performed by Mika Singh and Palak Muchhal was released on 6 June 2014, as it coincided with Jummah, an auspicious day for Muslims.[2][3] The second song "Hangover" was released on 12 June 2014. The track was sung by Khan himself with Shreya Ghoshal, and rap verses by Meet Bros. Anjjan and A Positive Dhillon; the former composed the track.[4] Manmeet of the Meet Bros duo said that Khan's voice felt apt for the track, after they could not find suitable singers. However, Sonu Nigam earlier performed the track in late-November, but his vocals were scrapped with Khan performing the track. A source close to the production said that Nadiadwala approached Sonu to perform the track and did not receive any renumeration as he sang for Khan in his previous films. But due to undisclosed reasons, his version was not included.[5] The soundtrack was released by T-Series on 27 June 2014 as a single album in music streaming platforms, and as a two-part jukebox in YouTube.[6]
