Release Notes
After a successful collaboration on his Karma album, Tarkan worked with singer/songwriter Nazan Öncel again for this 2003 musical offering. Some see this release as a continuation of the philosophy laid down in the 2001 album.

Also following on from the tradition of Karma, an official site was opened for this album.

This work marks a series of firsts for the artist:

• His first to be packaged in a Digipak® case,
  
• His first EP release. An EP is an album that is shorter than usual and longer than a standard single; sometimes referred to as a "mini-album" or "maxi-single". As this album holds four original songs and one cover with five remixes it is generally archived under albums,
  
• Tarkan's first album to come out of his own production company HITT Music, part of HITT Productions, but not his first work. He had already released promotional singles "Özgürlük İçimizde" and "Bir Oluruz Yolunda" under his own ticket. Apart from Tarkan, the first artist to release an album from Tarkan's music label was Nazan Öncel, with the album Yan Yana Fotograf Çektirelim (Let's Take Photographs Together).
  
• This was the first EP release in Turkey to sell over 1,000,000 copies.

Music videos were filmed for tracks -

• Dudu; Dir: Tarkan/Umur Turagay
  
• Gülümse Kaderine; Dir: Metin Arolat
  
• Sorma Kalbim; Dir: Metin Arolat
  
• Uzun Ince Bir Yoldayım; OPET (This is a remixed version not found on the album.)
