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.

Sensiz
Emre Altuğ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yuvasız kuşlarla yine benim göç eden
"Sevgilim sen mutlu ol", desem de sevgimden
Sessiz bir çığlıkla haykırarak içimden
Ya ben fazlayım bu dünyada
Ya da bu dünya sensiz fazla bana
Ya ben fazlayım bu dünyada
Gözlerin uzaklarda, yine çıktı menzilden
İkimiz bir bütünken yarım kaldık aniden
"Sevgilim sen mutlu ol", desem de sevgimden
Sessiz bir çığlıkla haykırarak içimden
Ya ben fazlayım bu dünyada
Ya da bu dünya sensiz fazla bana
Ya ben fazlayım bu dünyada
Ya da bu dünya sensiz fazla bana
Sensiz fazla bana
Sensiz fazla bana
Ya da bu dünya fazla bana
The lyrics to Emre Altuğ's song Sensiz describe the feelings of loneliness and displacement that arise from a relationship that has ended. The singer describes their experience of traveling alone on deserted roads, surrounded by birds who are also without a place to call home. They express their desire for their partner to be happy, but can't help but feel a sense of silence and emptiness within themselves, like a scream that they can't release. The singer muses that either they don't belong in this world, or this world simply doesn't have enough room for them without their partner.
The repetition of the lines "Ya ben fazlayım bu dünyada / Ya da bu dünya sensiz fazla bana" (Either there's too much of me in this world / or this world is too much without you) emphasizes the emotional weight of the situation. The pain of being without a partner who used to be an integral part of their life is palpable, and the singer is grappling with how to move forward from this loss.

Issız yollarda ne gelen var ne giden
In vacant roads, there isn't anyone to come or go
Yuvasız kuşlarla yine benim göç eden
I'm migrating again with homeless birds
"Sevgilim sen mutlu ol", desem de sevgimden
Even though I say "My love, be happy" from my love
Sessiz bir çığlıkla haykırarak içimden
Screaming silently from inside
Ya ben fazlayım bu dünyada
Either I'm too much in this world
Ya da bu dünya sensiz fazla bana
Or this world is too much for me without you
Gözlerin uzaklarda, yine çıktı menzilden
Your eyes are in distance, again out of range
İkimiz bir bütünken yarım kaldık aniden
We were a whole, but we were left half suddenly
"Sevgilim sen mutlu ol", desem de sevgimden
Even though I say "My love, be happy" from my love
Sessiz bir çığlıkla haykırarak içimden
Screaming silently from inside
Sensiz fazla bana
Without you, it's too much for me
Sensiz fazla bana
Without you, it's too much for me
Ya da bu dünya fazla bana
Or this world is too much for me
