Emre Altuğ was born in Levent, Istanbul as the second son to a housewife mother and dentist father. He graduated in Theatrical Studies from the State Conservatory of Istanbul University. He acted on stage in various plays and sang backing vocals to such established artists like Sezen Aksu, Sertab Erener, Levent Yüksel or Nilüfer, before his first album, entitled İbreti Alem (A Lesson to Everyone) was released in 1999.
In 2000 he sang a song called Bir de bana sor (Ask Me, Too) for Melih Kıbar's album entitled Yadıgar. The song became a huge hit with radio stations. His second album, Sıcak (Hot) was released in 2003. In the meantime he appeared in commercials, television films and feature films, like Kolay Para (Easy Money). His third album, Dudak Dudağa (Lip to Lip) came out in 2004, followed by Sensiz Olmuyor (Won't Work Without You) a year later. The song, which the album was named after, became the theme song of a television series that was given the same title (Sensiz Olmuyor) and in which Emre played the leading character. The series was aired on Show TV. In June 2007 he released his latest album Kişiye Özel (Personal).
Emre is planning to release an English album, for which he travelled to the USA and is about to start work with Mark Feist and Damon Sharpe (who have worked with such artists like Anastacia or Jennifer Lopez and are the producers and co-writers of the charity song Come Together Now), who found Emre's voice outstanding and have already started to work on four songs with him.

Nerden aklima, esti kim bilir
Gezdik dün gece, şehri şöyle bir
Herkes evinde, kendi halinde
Heryerde huzur, heryerde neşe
Bir ben uykusuz, bir ben huzursuz
Bir ben çaresiz, bir ben sensiz
Gel sende ne çektiğimi bir de bana sor
Nerde nasil yaşarim bir de bana sor
Evlerin işiklari birbir yanarken
Bendeki karanliği gelde bana sor
Gel sende ne çektiğimi bir de bana sor
Nerde nasil yaşarim bir de bana sor
Evlerin işiklari birbir yanarken
Bendeki karanliği gelde bana sor
Nerden aklima, esti kim bilir
Gezdik dün gece, şehri şöyle bir
Eski sokaklar yerli yerinde
Dostlar oturmuşkir kahvesinde
Bir ben uykusuz, bir ben huzursuz
Bir ben çaresiz, bir ben sensiz
Bir ben sensiz
Gel sende ne çektiğimi birde bana sor
Sensiz yaşamak neymiş birde bana sor
Ak düşen saçlarini tel tel sayarken
Bunca yil nasil geçti gelde bana sor
Gel sende ne çektiğimi birde bana sor
Sensiz yaşamak neymiş birde bana sor
Ak düşen saçlarini tel tel sayarken
Bunca yil nasil geçti gelde bana sor
Gel sende ne çektiğimi birde bana sor
Sensiz yaşamak neymiş birde bana sor
Evlerin işiklari birbir yanarken
Bendeki karanliği gelde bana sor
Birde bana sor.
The song "Birde Bana Sor" by Emre Altuğ is sung in Turkish and talks about the feelings of loneliness and helplessness. The singer seems to be struggling with insomnia and unease while everyone else around him is at peace. The lyrics suggest that the singer is seeking answers to his problems and is asking someone to inquire about his condition. The opening lines, "Birde bana sor, Nerden aklima, esti kim bilir" translate to "Ask me too, who knows where my thoughts came from."
The next few lines describe the city at night, with the streets and the houses lit up while everyone is in their own comfort zone. The singer, however, feels like a misfit and is dealing with the darkness inside him that nobody else can see. He cries out for someone to understand his pain and ask him how he survives in such emotional distress.
In the latter half of the song, the singer reflects on his past and how he has aged through the years. He contemplates on the reality of living without his significant other and counts the hairs she has lost over time. The chorus repeats with increasing urgency as he asks for someone to ask about his suffering and the darkness within him.
Overall, "Birde Bana Sor" tells a story of detachment and lack of understanding. The singer feels lost and is looking for someone to acknowledge his struggles and worries. The lyrics are melancholic and tug at the heartstrings, creating a sense of empathy towards the singer's loneliness.

Şu şarkıya yorum yapılmamış yazıklar olsun. Birden aklıma geldi bu albüm yeniden çıksa sallar ortalığı
Mehmet
Bu adamın hemen hemen bütün şarkıları on numaraydı. Özellikle 2. Ve 3. Albüm. Ama nedense hiç kıymeti bilinmedi. Bu ülkenin yetiştirdiği en iyi sanatçılardan hala.

Dudak Dudağa Albümünün devamını çıkarmıştı. Ama bu cd versiyonuydu.
