Miss Yavuz about the song: "I wrote this piece when I was feeling homesick and I wanted to mention the simple things about home. Beyoglu is my favourite area in Istanbul, where I spent most of my time, so while I'm singing this song, I close my eyes and I imagine myself walking in the streets of Beyoglu, with an old friend."

Lyrics translation:
"Nowadays I don't feel so good
I miss Istanbul
It's been a while since I've seen a real friend
But, Beyoglu, the sky, the streets, the passages
A stool, a cup of tea, a smile, a good conversation
Nowadays I don't feel so good,
I miss Istanbul."
