Dancing was not the only activity she engaged in during her time at work, she had also been known to sing and so she would eventually shift her career direction into singing instead.

These first stepping stones into the music industry would eventually make her be one of Turkey's most famous Arabesque artists.

The song managed to earn her many awards, as it was one of the most requested singles on Turkish radio and TV stations. In addition to that, the song found itself being played at many Turkish TV shows, soap operas and commercials.
