The album also features the songs "Yaralı Gönlüm", originally performed by Zeki Müren, and "Herkes Gibisin", based on a poem by Nâzım Hikmet.
The album's first song and music video, "Milyonlarca Kuştuk...", is based on the legend of Simurgh and discusses the falling of human soul into the worldly traps and losing its way.
In the song, it is told how human's soul loses its way because of eagerness, greed and jealousy, and in the legend it goes on a mission to find Simurgh, but it faces many worldly barriers.
[4] The Turkish version of "Misirlou", which was performed by Zeki Müren in the 1950s under the title "Yaralı Gönlüm", was re-performed by Erçetin and included in the album.
[1] As a result of the "desire to establish a link between the legacy of the past and the music of today", she prepared the ghazal for "Herkes Gibisin" together with Veysel Samanoğlu.
We released the album Milyonlarca Kuştuk... on Monday 3 June 2013, just as we had planned a long time ago, but as our country is passing through stormy days and to not to take attentions away, we did not want to do the main promotion in any platforms other than candanercetin.com.tr and pasajmuzik.com.
He also did not find the songs "Milyonlarca Kuştuk...", "Eğlen Neşelen", "Kim Deli", "Dalga", "Yak Gemileri" and "Yaralı Gönlüm" suitable for Erçetin, and believed that they should have been given to Nil Karaibrahimgil.
However, he noted that a little minimalism would not be bad in the lyrics, and named the songs "Milyonlarca Kuştuk...", ‘"Aşk", "Eğlen Neşelen" and "Yak Gemileri" as the starred pieces of the album.
He found the song "Beklemeden", which he described as the star of the album, as a competitor to Kırık Kalpler Durağında's "Bahar" "in terms of the effect and enthusiasm that it creates".
[11] Milliyet Sanat's Yavuz Hakan Tok wrote that the album was exactly something that was expected from Erçetin and believed that with this work she had succeeded in securing her place in people's hearts.
He found the ghazal at the beginning of "Herkes Gibisin" impressive, and believed that "Kim Deli" with its makeshift lyrics was the weakest piece in the album.
The video was recorded at the Maçka Park in Istanbul and 80 of Erçetin's young students from Sait Çiftçi Primary School and Minik Yıldızlar Kindergarten appeared alongside her.
