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".

Lyrics

The song was re-written into Turkish, by Turkish Pop legend Sezen Aksu, the Turkish version is entitled "Deli Oğlan", meaning "Crazy Boy".

A music video was shot for the song, which differs from A Good Kiss. The video was shot in Turkey and was released on June 6. The director of the video is Emir Khalilzadeh. Before the release pictures emerged online of the music video. The images showed Hadise in a dress with a male model hugging, the Turkish media made a fuss about the music video looking too erotic. However the male model scenes were cut from the final edit.

The music video's debut was on the music channel Powertürk.
