While originally performed by others in decades past, Ersoy's rendition on her Nostalji 2 album (1996) turned it into a massive commercial hit, defining the "Neo-Classical" era of Turkish pop culture.

The song was written by Hikmet Münir Ebcioğlu and composed by the legendary Teoman Alpay .

The singer expresses jealousy toward the wind that touches the lover's hair and the sun that warms their skin.
