Tarkan began recording the album in 1997, following the success of his third Turkish release Ölürüm Sana that year.[1] Referring to the album's title, Tarkan said: "I think that my music is very unique [sic] and connects both worlds. That's the reason why I named my album Come Closer. I believe in cultural sharing, in the idea of we-belong-altogether. In my opinion, music should have no borders and we should all try to come closer".[2] In August 2005, a number of songs recorded for the album were leaked onto the internet by a Turkish DJ.[3] The leaked songs garnered considerable airplay in dance clubs in Turkey, before Tarkan's management took legal action against the DJ's playing the songs.[4] Contents [hide] 1 Track listing 2 Credits and personnel 3 Music videos 4 Charts 5 References 6 External links Track listing[edit source | editbeta] #SongComposerLyricistTime 1"Just Like That"Pete "Boxsta" Martin / TarkanPete "Boxsta" Martin / Tarkan3:39 2"In Your Eyes"Pete "Boxsta" Martin / TarkanPete "Boxsta" Martin / Tarkan3:36 3"Why Don't We (Aman Aman)" feat Wyclef JeanTarkan / Brian Kierulf / Josh SchwartzTarkan / Brian Kierulf / Josh Schwartz3:49 4"Mine"Jamie Hartman / Tina Harris / Tarkan / Ozan ÇolakoğluJamie Hartman / Tina Harris / Tarkan / Ozan Çolakoğlu3:19 5"Over"Pete "Boxsta" Martin / TarkanPete "Boxsta" Martin / Tarkan4:22 6"Start The Fire"Josh Schwartz / Tarkan / Brian KierulfJosh Schwartz / Tarkan / Brian Kierulf3:26 7"Shhh"Billy Mann / Tarkan / SupaflyasBilly Mann / Tarkan / Supaflyas3:34 8"Bounce"Tarkan / Devrim Karaoğlu / Pete "Boxsta" Martin / Elijah Wells / Lionel BerminghamTarkan / Devrim Karaoğlu / Pete "Boxsta" Martin / Elijah Wells / Lionel Bermingham3:45 9"Come Closer"Tarkan / Devrim Karaoğlu / David WernerTarkan / Devrim Karaoğlu / David Werner4:18 10"Don't Leave Me Alone"Josh Schwartz / Brian Kierulf / TarkanJosh Schwartz / Brian Kierulf / Tarkan4:02 11"Şıkıdım"Sezen Aksu / Tarkan / Josh Schwartz / Brian KierulfSezen Aksu / Tarkan / Josh Schwartz / Brian Kierulf3:55 12"I'm Gonna Make U Feel Good"Pete "Boxsta" Martin / Tina Harris / Steve LeePete "Boxsta" Martin / Tina Harris / Steve Lee3:54 13"Mass Confusion"David Werner / Tarkan / Ozan ÇolakoğluDavid Werner / Tarkan / Ozan Çolakoğlu4:09 14"Touch"Lester Mendez / Tarkan / Ty LacyLester Mendez / Tarkan / Ty Lacy4:18 15"If Only You Knew"Billy Mann / TarkanBilly Mann / Tarkan3:23 Come Closer US Remix Editio Tarkan was about to release his U.S Remix album featuring Wyclef Jean and Miri Ben-Ari.
