The lyrics are penned by Gurpreet Saini with music composed by Rochak Kohli. Notably, the makers have retained the iconic hook step that Shahid Kapoor originally popularised. The original Ishq Vishk Pyaar Vyaar track was composed by Anu Malik with lyrics by Sameer.

Rohit Saraf had earlier clarified that Ishq Vishk Rebound is not a sequel or remake of the 2003 film. "It’s not a remake or sequel of Ishq Vishk. The common factor between the two films is their franchise. But this is a new story altogether, a love story about Gen Z,” Saraf said at a promotional event in Mumbai.

Scheduled for release on June 21, 2024, Ishq Vishk Rebound is produced by Ramesh Taurani of Tips Films and directed by Nipun Avinash Dharmadhikari. Dharmadhikari is also known for co-directing the Netflix series Mismatched, which featured Rohit Saraf and Prajakta Koli.
