Jukebox 2025, A year of earworms

Love and Love Only

The year started with AR Rahman’s soundtrack for Kadhalikka Neramillaibringing the composer back to the romance genre. Romance was indeed in the air for 2025, as we had Leon James’ compositions for Dragonespecially ‘Vazhithunaiye’ become the romantic anthem of 2025. Talking about virality, we had one of the earliest additions to Tamil music virality, ‘My Dear Loveru‘ from Vishal’s Madha Gaja Rajacomposed by Vijay Antony, returning to prominence with the film hitting the screens after a decade.  GV Prakash Kumar, who is no stranger to making music for romance, gave us ‘Seven’ from Dhanush’s Nilavukku En Mel Ennadi Kobamand ‘Kalloorum’ from SU Arun Kumar’s Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2.

Sublahshini was a singer who made quite the impact in 2025 with multiple numbers, including the quirky ‘Golden Sparrow’ (Nilavukku En Mel Ennadi Kobam) that established youthful romance, and Santhosh Narayanan’s ‘Pottala Muttaye’ (Thalaivan Thalaivii) that touched upon the playful romance between a married couple. And then, we had the 1-2 punch by Santhosh Narayanan’s Retrowhich had the star-driven ‘Love Detox’sung by Suriya, and ‘Kannaadi Poove’ by the composer himself. The year was rounded off by Chinmayi and Aravind Aravindakshan’s beautiful number, ‘Eppadi Vandhaayo‘, from Aromaleycomposed by Siddhu Kumar.
