Two years later, in 1996, Nazan released her album "Sokak Kızı" ("Stray Girl"). This album had a stronger rock sound. It featured several popular songs like "Erkekler de Yanar" ("The Men Are on the Hook, too"), "A Bu Hayat" ("This Life"), and "Bırak Seveyim Rahat Edeyim" (Let Me Love You and Have Peace).
