Mükemmel is a pop album with elements of electronic music. After "searching for an ambitious name", Yener eventually titled the album after one of the songs in the track list. While the album's release date was changed several times, the final delay happened following the death of hundreds of miners due to the Soma mine disaster. Due to the huge number of songs in the album, it was decided that it should be released as a two-disc edition. Yener also performed new versions of the songs "Bir Köşede Yalnız" and "Kış Masalı" for the album, both of which were previously released and performed by Ajda Pekkan and Sezen Aksu respectively. On the song "Unutanlar Gibi", Mehmet Erdem appeared as the featuring artist. "O Kadın Gitti" was the only song in the album that was written by Yener herself. Music critics wrote generally positive reviews for the album and praised the "innovation and experimental works" in it.
Mükemmel ranked third on D&R's Best-Selling list in Turkey and, according to MÜ-YAP, it sold more than 50,000 copies. Three separate music videos were released for the songs "Alt Dudak", "Naber" and "Hani Bana", the first of which ranked second on Türkçe Top 20, while the second one rose to the third position on the chart. Mükemmel received the Best Album award at the Golden Objective Awards organized by the Magazin Journalists Association. In April 2015, the album was again released under the title Sebastian + Mükemmel. It was a three-disc edition, the first of which contained Yener's new single "Sebastian" and three other songs which she had performed for other albums. Many of the songs in the album were later included in Yener's compilation album İki Deli, which was released in December 2015. To promote the album, Yener appeared on various television programs and went on a concert tour known as Sebastian 2015 Tour.
