"Deli Oğlan" is the fourth single, ninth overall, by Belgian-Turkish singer Hadise from her second self-titled studio album Hadise. The single is the Turkish version of her song A Good Kiss and is the first single to be released in Turkey only. The song has officially established Hadise as part of the Turkish music scene, as her previous singles didn't receive heavy plays on both radio and television, with the exception of "Stir me up" and "bad boy".

Turkey, officially the Republic of Turkey, is a transcontinental country located mainly in Western Asia, with a smaller portion on the Balkan Peninsula in Southeast Europe. East Thrace, located in Europe, is separated from Anatolia by the Sea of Marmara, the Bosphorous strait and the Dardanelles. Turkey is bordered by Greece and Bulgaria to its northwest; Georgia to its northeast; Armenia, the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan and Iran to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the south. Ankara is its capital but Istanbul is the country's largest city. Approximately 70 to 80 per cent of the country's citizens identify as Turkish. Kurds are the largest minority; the size of the Kurdish population is a subject of dispute with estimates placing the figure at anywhere from 12 to 25 per cent of the population.
