Govindudu Andarivadele is the feature film soundtrack composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja for the 2014 Telugu-language action film of the same name directed by Krishna Vamsi. The soundtrack consists of 6 songs whose lyrics were written by Suddala Ashok Teja, Sri Mani, Sirivennela Sitaramasastri, Ramajogayya Sastry, Chandrabose and Lakshmi Bhoopal each. It was released by Aditya Music label on 1 September 2014 in a promotional event held at Shilpakala Vedika in Hyderabad. Production Krishna Vamsi wanted to narrate the story of a London bred NRI who visits India in search of his roots. After finishing the scriptwork, he had 16 situations for placement of songs which he later reduced to six, which included one dance number because of Ram Charan's popularity as a dancer, two family songs apart from three romantic songs. S. Thaman, who composed the music for Ram Charan's Naayak (2013) was signed as the music director of the film marking his first collaboration with Krishna Vamsi.

It became the first time that Krishna Vamsi collaborated with Yuvan Shankar Raja, with the director later informing that he had waited five years to work with the composer; it was also the first time Yuvan scored for a film starring Srikanth and Ram Charan. In the end of April 2014, it was reported that the song Adavari Matalaku from Pawan Kalyan's Kushi would be remixed for this film which itself was a remixed version of the same song penned by Pingali Nagendrarao for the 1955 film Missamma.
