The album consisted of 11 songs in total, ten of which were written and composed by Gülşen herself, who took inspiration from the events in her own life when preparing the lyrics.[1] It was recorded at Sarı Ev studios and produced and arranged by Ozan Çolakoğlu. Aside from its new songs, the album contains a cover of "Dillere Düşeceğiz Seninle", which was originally performed by Nazan Öncel for her 1994 album Ben Böyle Aşk Görmedim. The songs "Bi' An Gel" and "Ezberbozan" ranked first and third on Türkçe Top 20 respectively.[2] "Önsöz" and "Dillere Düşeceğiz Seninle" were also among the top 10 on the official chart, occupying the sixth and tenth place respectively.[3]
Nihat Odabaşı directed three of the album's four music videos: "Bi' An Gel",[4] "Ezberbozan",[5] and "Dillere Düşeceğiz Seninle".[6] The music video for "Ezberbozan" was shot at Film Sokağı in Istanbul.[7] Her new image and appearance in the video was compared by some to that of American actress Marilyn Monroe.[1][8] For the hippie-themed music video of the song "Önsöz", Gülşen worked with the stylist Ceyda Balaban. The music video was directed by Murat Onbul.[9]
Mehmet Tez of Milliyet praised the graphic design and style of the album's cover, and found it suitable for Gülşen's style. He also believed that her collaboration with Ozan Çolakoğlu was a key factor for the album's success, yet added that she should avoid putting songs from completely different genres in one album.[10]
All of the songs were written and composed by Gülşen, unless stated otherwise.
