The film's musical score is composed by [[G. V. Prakash Kumar]] with lyrics written by Kaber Vasuki, [[Umadevi]], [[Vivek (lyricist)|Vivek]] and [[Arunraja Kamaraj]]. The soundtrack featured five songs released under the [[Saregama]] label. All of them were released as singles.

== Development ==
''Captain Miller'' is Prakash's seventh collaboration with Dhanush after ''[[Polladhavan (2007 film)|Polladhavan]]'' (2007), ''[[Aadukalam]]'' (2011), ''[[Mayakkam Enna]]'' (2011), ''[[Asuran (2019 film)|Asuran]]'' (2019), ''[[Maaran (2022 film)|Maaran]]'' (2022) and ''[[Vaathi]]'' (2023) and his first with Matheswaran. Unlike Matheswaran's previous ventures, ''[[Rocky (2021 film)|Rocky]]'' (2021) and [[Saani Kaayidham|''Saani Kaayidham'']] (2022) where he used minimal music (mostly relying on silence) to underline the isolation of the principal characters, the film needed [[Background score|background music]] for highlighting the emotional journey of the characters and felt Prakash was the perfect fit for the film.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Chandar |first=Bhuvanesh |date=9 January 2024 |title=Arun Matheswaran interview: On 'Captain Miller' and why Dhanush is 'not a regular superstar' |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/arun-matheswaran-interview-on-captain-miller-and-why-dhanush-is-not-a-regular-superstar/article67722354.ece |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240113045015/https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/arun-matheswaran-interview-on-captain-miller-and-why-dhanush-is-not-a-regular-superstar/article67722354.ece |archive-date=13 January 2024 |access-date=17 January 2024 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref> Composition for the musical score began on late-February 2023.
