Selin, who delivered one of the most talked-about performances of the concert with her rendition of “İyileşiyorum” at Sertab Erener’s tribute night, crowns her musical journey with Sertab with a song they wrote together. The lyrics of the song belong to Sertab Erener and Selin, while the music is by Sertab, Selin, and Emre Kula, with Emre Kula serving as the producer. Blending the melodic foundation long-missed in Turkish Pop with the powerful texture of rock music, the song offers an extraordinary interpretation by meeting with powerful vocals.
SELİN: “SERTAB IS BOTH A MENTOR AND A FRIEND TO ME”
“Sertab Erener has become a mentor, a source of inspiration, and at the same time, a very close friend to me. ‘SON DAMLA’ is the most genuine reflection of the bond we have built with Sertab; it is a sincere creation of the shared emotions we have experienced. It is a great honor to make a song with her. I would like to thank Emre Kula for adding soul to the song with his guitar scores and melodies that draw us in. This song gave us strength, and now it is our gift to you.”
SERTAB ERENER: “I WAS CAPTIVATED BY HER VOICE THE FIRST TIME I HEARD SELİN”
“When I first heard my dear Selin, I was captivated first by her voice, then by her performance. In a short time, I had become a fan of her videos. After we met, we performed together at my concert; she never turned me down. Beyond our musical friendship, her kind heart, diligence, and sensitivity impress me greatly. May the path to her album be clear, and may ‘SON DAMLA’ bring her luck. I love her very much.”
MUSIC VIDEO FROM THE CONCERT
The music video for the song includes special clips from Selin's concert, where Sertab Erener was also a guest. The video also features behind-the-scenes footage of the song's production process.
A PRECURSOR TO HER FIRST ALBUM
Selin has drawn attention on both Turkish and global stages with tracks such as “Yalancı Bahar,” which reached over 65 million streams, “Seni Gördüğüm An,” a collaboration with Canozan, “Farkında Değildin,” where she stood out with her original songwriting, and the chart-topping “Şıp.” Selin gave her listeners a big surprise with this single ahead of her first Turkish album, which will be released in the coming weeks.
The “SON DAMLA” music video and song have been available on all digital music platforms since April 25.
SON DAMLA Lyrics:
You didn't even apologize
You hurt me a lot again, you didn't feel it
You were so selfish with your anger toward yourself
I couldn't get used to it, I couldn't bow down
I couldn't love you as if I did
I was either a devil or an angel
I was an enemy, I was your lover
Who did you expect me to be
Go, goodbye
Don't stop at all
There is no one crying behind you
Maybe one day you will face
That man you think you are
I will drink the last drop left from you too
I always kept it inside
Look, I didn't die
I saw inside you
But I couldn't say it
You got lost in the bottles
You couldn't stomach this yourself
You hid within four walls
And only I knew
I was either a devil or an angel
I was an enemy, I was your lover
Who did you expect me to be
Go, goodbye
Don't stop at all
There is no one crying behind you
Maybe one day you will face
That man you think you are
I will drink
The last drop left from you too
Whatever you do is in vain, it's best to be silent
Hide your sentences outside the door
Now go, before I forget you
Go, goodbye
Don't stop at all
There is no one crying behind you
Maybe one day you will face
That man you think you are
I will drink
The last drop left from you too
