A pop album that also contains dance songs, Bangır Bangır's lyrics feature phrases of Turkish slang. The album received mixed reviews from critics. Many accused the singer of repeating the music style of her previous album and some pointed out that she was inspired by Sezen Aksu, which was reflected in the lyrics of the songs. For the album's cover and image, Gülşen took inspiration from Brazilian singer Carmen Miranda's appearance and Mexican artist Frida Kahlo's art works. Some critics, however, left negative comments and compared her image to that of American singer Katy Perry and English singer FKA Twigs.
Three music videos were released for the album. The video for the lead single, "Bangır Bangır", was recorded in Havana, Cuba, and released as the first music video of the album. It became the most-viewed music video on YouTube in Turkey in 2015. It also became the most-searched song on Google in Turkey. The songs topped Türkçe Top 20 for thirteen weeks. The music video for "Dan Dan" was recorded in California, the United States, in which Gülşen appeared in a red swimsuit and boots. RTÜK found Gülşen's appearance and acts in the video similar to "women who give sexual service to men on the phone" and concluded that the clip was harmful for children, which resulted in charging the channels that had broadcast the music video. The third and final music video, "Büyük Hatırın Var", was published two years after the album's release.
Bangır Bangır immediately ranked first on D&R Best-Selling list following its release and sold 100,000 physical copies by the end of 2015, becoming Turkey's second best-selling album of the year. Due to its success, DMC awarded the album with a gold certification. To promote the album, Gülşen gave various concerts in Turkey and Europe. The lead single, "Bangır Bangır", received the Best Music Video and Best Song awards at the 42nd Golden Butterfly Awards, and Gülşen performed the former together with "Dan Dan" at the award ceremony.
