"Kuzu Kuzu" (Two videos were filmed for this song, including one for an acoustic version released in the single of the same name.)
"Hüp" (Two videos were filmed for this song, including one for a remixed version released in the single Hüp 8. The video filmed for the original edit was directed by Italian director Ferzan Özpetek. Under the sponsorship of Pepsi it was the most expensive Turkish music video ever produced, which also caused scandal with Tarkan using his tongue to kiss his on-screen lady.)
"Verme" (Two different versions were filmed for this song. The second version focuses on the effect of war on children, and was the first Turkish music video to use metamorphic special effects.)
