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.

Vazgeçenler oldu
Seni sevmek zordu
Baka kaldı herkes ardından
Hayrete mucip oldu
Süremiz doldu
Uç zalim kuş kendini kurtar beni boşver
Yakıyor, yıkıyor sevdan duman duman
Anılar sende aahh aşkın gunahi bende
Eziyor, geciyor sevdan zaman zaman
Yatağım bomboş ama
Kalbim senle dolu hala
Dönenler oldu bu yoldan
Vazgeçenler oldu
Seni sevmek zordu
Baka kaldı herkes ardından
Hayrete mucip oldu
Süremiz doldu
Uç zalim kuş kendini kurtar beni boşver
Yakıyor, yıkıyor sevdan duman duman
Anılar sende aahh aşkın gunahi bende
Eziyor, geciyor sevdan zaman zaman
Yatağım bomboş ama
Kalbim senle dolu hala
Dilimde tuyler bitti
Anlatmak için sana kendimi
Ne çok uğraştım bulmak için
Ne çok savaştım ben aşk için
Mumla ararsın sen beni sevgimi
İş işten gecti bitti mi
Tozumun izini
Bile bulamaz olursun
Vazgec kararindan ziyan olursun
Son bulursun
Yakıyor, yıkıyor sevdan duman duman
Anılar sende aahh aşkın gunahi bende
Eziyor, geciyor sevdan zaman zaman
Yatağım bomboş ama
Kalbim senle dolu
Yakıyor, yıkıyor sevdan duman duman
Anılar sende aahh aşkın gunahi bende
Eziyor, geciyor sevdan zaman zaman
Yatağım bomboş ama
Kalbim senle dolu hala
Kalbim senle dolu hala
Kalbim senle dolu hala
The lyrics of Emre Altuğ's song Zalim Kuş are emotionally charged, and the song's essence revolves around the pain of a love that has ended. The first verse talks about the people who have walked away from the relationship, and how difficult it was to love the person. It is evident that the singer is hurting and feels that everyone has abandoned them. The second verse is where the emotion reaches its peak, and the singer begs the cruel bird to fly away and leave them alone. They talk about how the love burns them, and the memories of the love are still with the other person. They also mention the emptiness they feel when they are lying in bed, but their heart is still full of love for the other person.
The third verse is about the singer's struggle to find themselves and try to reach the other person. They mention how they have fought so hard for love and tried to find themselves but to no avail. They talk about how the other person may never be able to find them again, and it may lead to regret. The phrase "Ziyan olursun" translates to "You will be at a loss," which highlights the potential regret of losing someone who loves you. The chorus is repeated twice, which emphasizes the central pain and heartbreak experienced by the singer.
