Packed with fast energetic numbers, the soundtrack of director Ayan Mukerji's forthcoming movie 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' has nine tracks.

The album has an energetic start with 'Badtameez Dil', sung by Benny Dayal and Shefali Alvaris. Get ready to groove to the number as its fast beats will definitely pull you to the dance floor.
