Her first album, "Be Adam" (O man!) which was released in 1995, gave Gülşen a good debut in Turkey's music world, and her second album, "Erkeksen" (If you are a man), came three years afterwards in 1998. Following another interval of three years, the album "Şimdi" (Now) was released in 2001. This did not attain the popularity she had hoped. The relative failure of this album could be attributed to the image she presented on her 2004 album "Of...Of...". The music video for the main title "Sarışınım" (My blonde), in which she was barely covered with blurred spots on a few parts of her slim body, was judged as obscene by the state watchdog for TV broadcasts, RTÜK (High Board for Radio and TV), and a number of TV channels were issued warnings for having broadcast the clip.
The 2006 album title "Yurtta aşk, cihanda aşk" (Love in country, love in universe), a reference to Atatürk's famous phrase - peace in the country, peace in the world - was released in June 2006. In the meantime, Gülşen's private life also got a lot of coverage in the Turkish news media and gossip tabloids. In order to reach the international audience, she uses the name "Gulshen" to assure a correct pronunciation of her given name.
In 2009 she has released her current album titeled "Önsöz" in which she has written all of the songs.

Koparıp atsan da solmaz gönlüm nafile
Yokluğun soğuk tenine susadı tenim
Üşüdüm yorgan misali seril üstüme
Geceler boyu sevişmelerimiz bitmesin
Gölgesi düşsün saçlarına aşk ateşimin
Sakınıp sakla güneşim ol al ısıt beni
Kalbim duraksız haykırışlarda
Ne yapsan ayrılamam senden asla
Hafife alma, aşk vurur insana
Bu kadar kolay sanma delikanlım
Kalbim duraksız haykırışlarda
Ne yapsan ayrılamam senden asla
Hafife alma, aşk vurur insana
Bu kadar kolay sanma delikanlım
Açılır sonsuz kere yoluna güllerim
Koparıp atsan da solmaz gönlüm nafile
Yokluğun soğuk tenine susadı tenim
Üşüdüm yorgan misali seril üstüme
Geceler boyu sevişmelerimiz bitmesin
Gölgesi düşsün saçlarına aşk ateşimin
Sakınıp sakla güneşim ol al ısıt beni
Yüzünün sıcak kokusu kalsın ellerimde
Kalbim duraksız haykırışlarda
Ne yapsan ayrılamam senden asla
Hafife alma, aşk vurur insana
Bu kadar kolay sanma delikanlım
Kalbim duraksız haykırışlarda
Ne yapsan ayrılamam senden asla
Hafife alma, aşk vurur insana
Bu kadar kolay sanma delikanlım
The lyrics of Gülşen's song Delikanlım express the intensity of love and the desire to remain close to a loved one even in their absence. The opening lines talk about how the singer's heart will always send flowers down their path, even if they are plucked and thrown away, it will not wither. The following lines describe how the singer's body craves the warmth of their loved one, and feels a chill in their absence, comparing themselves to a cold blanket that has been laid on top of them. The chorus repeats the sentiment of being unable to separate from their love interests and reminds them not to underestimate the power of love.
The second verse of the song is a continuation of the first, and the lyrics describe the singer's desire to continue being intimate with their loved one, not wanting their love to end. They want to be near their loved one, feeling the warmth of their face and the touch of their hands. The chorus repeats the same theme of being unable to separate from their loved one, with a reminder that love hits you hard and should not be underestimated.
In summary, Delikanlım is a song about the intensity of love, the desire to be near the one you love, and the inability to separate from them.
