Background

It is announced that she was working with Mirkelam, Dolapdere Big Gang and Hüsnü Şenlendirici.[2][3] She was to perform 2 songs with a symphony orchestra.[4] There would be a duet with Hüsnü Şenlendirici, one of the songs was arranged by Dolapdere Big Gang group, which is known for their ethnic musical style. Also famous Turkish pop singer Mirkelam gave a song for this album. But none of these could be prepared for the final release.

Initially, album name was chosen as "Aşkın Uyanışı" (English: Awakening of love), but later it was simplified to "Uyanış". The release date of 7 March 2008 was first postponed to autumn 2008 and then to 7 March 2009. The album was postponed for the third time after the original recordings were stolen with her laptop PC.[5] Finally, the album was released on 29 May 2009 with SM Gold and Akış Production label.

First video for the album was decided for a slow song "Uyanış". It was delivered to radio stations on 24 April 2009. But then the first video was changed to an up-beat song "Bilmece", as the summer was coming. The video, shot in Indian style, was published on her website and delivered to TVs on 29 May 2009. The second video was shot for Uyanış by Sedat Doğan and Cem Başeskioğlu in January 2010. It was released to music channels on 5 February 2010.
