Pastor İhsan writes:

I have always believed that the Christians living on this soil need to develop their own music. One day my close friend Murat, with whom I had shares this and other dreams, surprised me by giving me a set of lyrics. While I had never thought about singing "türkü", with Murat's enthusiasm and insistence this project came to life. Even though my name is written on the cover, the project really is the both of ours.
