Sertab Erener is a Turkish singer, songwriter and composer. With her coloratura soprano voice, she started working as a backing vocalist for Sezen Aksu, and with Aksu's help she released her first studio album in the 1990s.

Although she did experimental works from time to time, she eventually preferred to focus on making pop music instead of making avant-garde works, in order to make her music heard by a larger audience. In some of her works, she combined Western music and Eastern music, and benefited from operas as well as classical Turkish music together with ethnic elements. With her entrance to Europe's market in the early 2000s, many of her works were also sold in Turkey as well as European countries.

Tavsiye (Advice) is the sixth studio album by Turkish-Belgian singer Hadise. It was released on 4 August 2014 by Pasaj Müzik. When questioned about the title of the album Hadise said that she had a song with the same title and she felt that the collection of songs on the album contained advice for women, hence she chose this title. The lead single, "Nerdesin Aşkım", was titled based on a sentence used by Cem Yılmaz in CM101MMXI Fundamentals, which was used in the chorus of the song. The music and lyrics of the song were provided by Alper Narman and Onur Özdemir, the arrangement was done by İskender Paydaş, and Hülya Açıkgöz directed the music video, which was released on 31 July 2014. The second single from the album was "Prenses". This music video was also directed by Hülya Açıkgöz.

The music video for "Sıfır Tolerans" was later described as erotic by the Radio and Television Supreme Council and, as a result, the channels that had broadcast it were fined. Hadise, who described this decision as an act of patriarchy and sexism, commented on the issue by saying: "Our male artists have had numerous scenes with actresses/models and they do not fall into the category of 'erotic' at all. As a woman, do I have to submit to this? No. 'He's a man so he does whatever he likes, she's a woman so she stays quiet' I will fight with this mindset until the end". The music video for "Farkımız Var" received the Best Music Video award at the 45th Golden Butterfly Awards.
