"Irumbile oru Irudhaiyam" is a Tamil song from the 2010 film Enthiran, directed by S. Shankar. The song was composed by A. R. Rahman with the Tamil lyrics written by Madhan Karky and the English lyrics written by Lady Kash and Krissy. The Hindi and Telugu version of the song are titled "Naina Miley" and "Inumolo O Hrudayam" and are written by Swanand Kirkire and Sudaala Ashok Teja respectively. The song features vocals by Rahman along with debutants Lady Kash and Krissy. The latter had also written the English lyrics for the song in all the versions.
The lyricist Madhan Karky is the son of poet Vairamuthu, who penned two other songs in the same film. "Irumbile oru Irudhaiyam" was his first song as a lyricist though another song had released earlier. About the opportunity, Karky says, "Working with Shankar sir and a stalwart like A.R. Rahman was super exciting. It’s not the easiest task to start with a film like Enthiran. The song also marked the super career break of Lady Kash and Krissy - Rapper/Singer duo from Singapore. "Working on Enthiran was truly a humbling and exciting experience", they said adding that they were thankful to Rahman for his faith in them.
The song was choreographed by Remo Dzousa and was picturised as a club dance number between Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai.
