The lyrics were written by Mert Çodur, while the music was composed by Mert Çodur and Ozan Bayraşa. Produced and arranged by Ozan Bayraşa, the single draws attention with its energetic rhythm, modern production and instantly memorable lyrics. AN ARTISTIC MUSIC VIDEO WHERE CANVAS, PAINT AND MOVEMENT COME TOGETHER The visual world of “Çıktı Yangınlar” is just as distinctive, built around a minimalist yet layered artistic aesthetic. Filmed at Fam Studio and completed in just 12 hours, the music video was directed by Elif Demiralp, with cinematography by Veli Kuzlu. Set against a backdrop of canvases and elements inspired by the visual arts, the video highlights the strong chemistry and synchronization between Ayşe Hatun Önal and Mert Çodur. Their performance is accompanied by movement design created by one of Turkey’s leading choreographers, Tuğçe Tuna. One of the video’s most striking moments comes from the solo performance of Diren Ezgi Yıldızkan, an award-winning dancer and graduate of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. As the performance unfolds, Yıldızkan becomes covered in paint and gradually merges with the canvases, creating a powerful visual statement that forms the artistic backbone of the video.
