Karz's disco soundtrack earned composers Laxmikant - Pyarelal a Filmfare Award for Best Music Director. The album weaves a tapestry of disparate musical styles that include the dramatic "Ek Hasina Thi", which was highly influenced by George Benson's "As We Love", and calypso artist Lord Shorty's "Om Shanti Om". Plaintive, yearning string orchestras and poetic lyrics also abound, perhaps most notably in "Dard-E-Dil".
