Erdem Kınay also served as a producer, and took the task of composing, recording and mixing of a number of the songs.

[3] Yener later stated in an interview that Apayrı was released for the "sake of art", and she insisted that she wanted to make albums that could be "listened to twenty years later" and that she was seeking new material for her upcoming works.

"Heey Çocuk" was written by Hande Yener, while Alpaslan Nas created the poem section of the song.

[9] Erdem Kınay, who had worked with Yener on her previous albums, composed the three new songs in the EP, and did the recordings and mixing of the new pieces.

Radio presenter Michael Kuyucu again criticized Yener for changing her musical style; however, he stated that he had listened to songs from Hande Maxi being played in "different clubs in the European and Turkish societies" and added that Yener's "line change", which had started with "Kelepçe" (Apayrı, 2006), was still being continued.

He stated that new songs had taken Yener "one step forward in her work", and described the new versions of "Kelepçe", "Kim Bilebilir Aşkı" and "Yola Devam" as "astonishing".

[8] Sabah's Oden Burak also published a positive review and stated that Erdem Kınay's work on Hande Maxi was a standout.

[14] The second music video was prepared for the song "Biraz Özgürlük", written by Boaz Aldujeli and composed by Erdem Kınay.
