She started out as the vocalist in "The Bad." The Bad was an underground rock band like most other rock bands and they would perform gigs at clubs, often playing covers from other popular bands. In 1993, she met Şebnem Ferah, who has now also become another recognized rock musician in Turkey, and became the keyboard player of the successful all-female rock band Volvox. Özlem occasionally performed as the lead singer as well.
While still in Volvox, she met Hakan Peker and they started working on her debut solo album in 1994. This album, Kime Ne (literally, who cares?), was eventually released in January 1996 to widespread critical acclaim. The first single Aşk Herşeyi Affeder Mi? (Does love forgive everything?) shot to the top of the charts. Other hit tracks include Duvaksız Gelin (Bride without a veil) and Herkes Şanslı Doğmuyor (Not everyone is born lucky).
Özlem Tekin then left Hakan Peker's record label and went to İstanbul Plak (Istanbul Record) which also had acquired other popular singers like Tarkan. Her second album Öz (Pure) was released in February 1998. This spawned Yol (Road) which became an enormous hit.
Laubali (Care-free/Disrespectful) came out a year later to great success.
Özlem started up her own TV show on Kanal D called Yaz Rüzgarı (Summer Wind) in 2000. This aired for 1 hour, 5 days a week and received high ratings. In year 2003 she started acting in the TV series "Sil Baştan" (From Scratch). This show aired for 2 years, also with high ratings.
In 2005, she starred in the stage musical "Mucizeler Komedisi" (The Comedy of Miracles). That very year, her new album "10987654321" was released, which presented a much harder sound than her previous effort.
In 2006 she played in the Cem Yılmaz movie "Hokkabaz" (The Trickster).
In the same year,she also played in the tv movie "Maçolar" (Machos).
After this experiment, she received a nice surprise, a forest in her honor, owing to her tenth year in music sector. After a long preparation,the forest was completed and named as "Özlem Tekin-Bahar Ormanı (Özlem Tekin-Spring Forest)" by her fans.
In 2007, she played in another TV movie "Fesupanallah" (Gosh) and nowadays she is preparing for her new project which is a theatre play "Kim O" (Who's That). Özlem Tekin will share the roles with a famous Turkish thespian Metin Serezli in this project.
In 2008, she started a new TV show in one of the most famous national music channels in Turkey, Kral TV. The show's name is "Hiperaktif" (Hyperactive), which is well-suited for Özlem's personality. Özlem is also fully suitable for the program format in her second TV announcer experience after "Yaz Rüzgarı" (Summer Breeze).

Özlem Tekin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hata benim olsun
Söz senin mertlik senin
Yalan benim olsun
Yanımda resimlerinle gömleğin kalsın
Gün senin hayat senin
Geçmiş benim olsun
Haz senin hak senin
Yanımda resimlerinle gömleğin kalsın
Yanımda hayallerimle çakmağın kalsın
Çünkü belki
Yakarım bu evi kurtulurum ikimizden
Belki yıkarım gider ne kaldı hikayemizden
Belki tutarım iki elimle sımsıkı
Özlersin belki dönersin diye
Düş senin dua senin
Yara benim olsun
Zevk senin sefa senin
Cefa benim olsun
Yanımda resimlerinle gömleğin kalsın
Yanımda hayallerimle çakmağın kalsın
Pul senin para senin aşk benim olsun
In this song, Özlem Tekin is talking about a tumultuous relationship where the power dynamic is constantly shifting. The first verse speaks to this, with the lines "Güç senin karar senin, Hata benim olsun" (Power is yours, decision is yours, mistake will be mine) and "Söz senin mertlik senin, Yalan benim olsun" (Words are yours, honesty is yours, lies will be mine). She is essentially saying that she is willing to take the blame for any mistakes made in the relationship, while also acknowledging that her partner holds power and control over the situation.
The chorus speaks to the possibility of leaving the relationship, with the lines "Çünkü belki, Yakarım bu evi kurtulurum ikimizden" (Because maybe, I'll burn down this house to save myself from both of us) and "Belki yıkarım gider ne kaldı hikayemizden" (Maybe I'll destroy everything and leave, what's left of our story). She also expresses the hope that her partner will come back to her, with the lines "Özlersin belki dönersin diye" (Maybe you'll miss me and come back).
The second verse continues with the power dynamic theme, with lines like "Düş senin dua senin, Yara benim olsun" (Dreams are yours, prayers are yours, wounds will be mine) and "Zevk senin sefa senin, Cefa benim olsun" (Pleasure is yours, comfort is yours, pain will be mine). The final line "Pul senin para senin aşk benim olsun" (Money is yours, wealth is yours, love will be mine) implies a certain level of manipulation and desperation, with Özlem claiming love as her own even though her partner holds all the financial power.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on a relationship where power struggles and desperation reign supreme. It depicts a scenario where feelings of love and hope coexist with the awareness that the relationship may not be healthy or sustainable.
