Can, who appeared in the clubs such as Galata Tower and Astorya, accepted Nükhet Duru and Fahrettin Arslan's offer to perform at Maksim Casino at the age of 17.

Due to Can's minority, the casino became under the threat of closure, and after court proceedings her date of birth was changed to 1964.

[4] At Maksim Casino she worked with the likes of Muazzez Abacı, Neşe Karaböcek and Emel Sayın.

Her ninth studio album, Bu Devirde, was released in 1997 with its lead single, "Padişah", being written by Serdar Ortaç.

Following the success of the album,[5] Can released a music video for the lead single, directed by Tayfun Dinçer.

With the release of this music video Can got a massive fan base and the album topped the sales charts in Turkey.

Businessman Kadir Has famously praised her at a business dinner saying: "Sibel, all my money is yours", while President Süleyman Demirel commented by saying: "I swear to God, it's all worth it for this girl".

The composer and songwriter Burhan Bayar composed all of the songs in this album, including "Gülüm Benim", "Sevmek", "Bu da Geçer", "Mavi Mavi", "Seninle ilk defa", "Yalnızım dostlarım", "Mutlu Ol Yeter", "Hasret Rüzgârları", "Benim Hatım", and "Gurbet Geceleri", all of which had the style of the 1980s' Turkish songs.

[10][11] On 9 April 2016, Can performed at the Bostancı Show Center,[12] followed by another concert at the Cemil Topuzlu Open-Air Theatre on 10 August 2016, during which she performed her new songs and said: "The great master of Arabesque music, Orhan Gencebay, discovered my talent; I have loved Arabesque music ever since".

It is also pleasing to know that she aims to offer different tastes within her own limits and does not rely only on Tarkan or Serdar Ortaç songs".
