1. Vay Anam Vay (4:05)
    Lyrics: Tarkan
    Music: Tarkan & Ozan Colakoglu

Vay Anam Vay was born when Tarkan was working in the studio on another song and became bored with it. He wrote Vay Anam Vay in two hours and together with Colakoglu, they decided to adjust the other songs to match its style, removing nonconforming songs from the tracklist. Thus, the entire album's sound and direction was determined by Vay Anam Vay.


2. Dilli Duduk (3:39)
    Music & Lyrics: Tarkan

Dilli Duduk was written one and a half years ago, when Tarkan went through a difficult period in his life. "I wrote it when the fruits of my work were unjustly stoned and muddied again. In the same period one of my colleagues became a victim of such unfair attacks as well. This time I really got angry. I wrote this song for those who break people's hearts without thinking first; those who make a mountain out of a molehill with their words."


3. Arada Bir (4:10)
    Music & Lyrics: Tarkan

Arada Bir is a confession that shows how Tarkan had experienced so-called "double relationships", which - according to him - are part of mankind's nature: at first everyone only cares for their own self, searches their own truth, but in the end if we are able to understand we were wrong, we can restore balance in the relationship.


4. Istanbul Agliyor (4:50)
    Music & Lyrics: Tarkan

Istanbul Agliyor was written for those who have already experienced the pain of separation and loneliness, so that they know they are not alone.


5. Hop Hop (4:23)
    Music & Lyrics: Tarkan

Hop Hop has political tones. It describes how the government exploits citizens for their own purposes; how today's political systems are good for nothing, since the world is full of violence and war; how human rights are many times oppressed; how we are a subject to global warming and how government systems do little to save us. Tarkan explained that the song examines these problems and encourages people to unite, no matter what color our skin is or what religion we follow.


6. Dedikodu (4:21)
    Music & Lyrics: Tarkan

Dedikodu is a song protesting against gossips. The singer asks his audience to believe in his art rather than listen to fame and money-hunting gossips and false news projected mainly by the media.


7. Bam Teli (4:36)
    Music & Lyrics: Tarkan

The song Bam Teli is about the psychological games involved in human relationships, when people often hurt each other, sometimes leaving incurable wounds behind. In this song Tarkan advises not to get involved in such games; sometimes we should just keep silent, show understanding and acceptance of the other and leave things to time.


8. Gun Gibi (4:59)
    Music & Lyrics: Tarkan

Gun Gibi is the confession of a man in love, thanking love. It is "the happy song of the nightingale that found his rose". (In Divan poetry, the nightingale and the rose were prevalent symbols often used to describe the relationship between the lover and the beloved.)


9. Cat Kapi (3:37)
    Lyrics: Tarkan
    Music: Tarkan & Ozan Colakoglu

Cat Kapi explains the singer's helplessness towards love, a feeling he has experienced multiple times. He makes the decision not to fall in love again, but he cannot resist the feeling.


10. Pare Pare (5:16)
      Lyrics: Tarkan
      Music: Ozan Colakoglu

"In this song," Tarkan commented, "I wanted to open my heart in its deepest and purest form. I wanted to share the self of me that looks so different when watched from outside but in reality is torn by storms. Of course, everyone has their own story. There should not be any prejudice towards anyone. What you project to the world and what you really are is different, I just wanted to put a reminder of that."
