Elbette (Of Course) is the third studio album by Turkish singer Candan Erçetin. It was released in 1999 by Topkapı Müzik. A pop and folk album, it was Erçetin's first studio album since the 1997 release of Çapkın. Mete Özgencil wrote eight of the album's songs on his own, and one of them together with Erçetin. This album marked the end of Özgencil and Erçetin's collaboration. Elbette was produced by Rıza Erekli and recorded at Erekli & Tunç Studio in Istanbul. Elbette contains 13 main songs, in addition to a bonus version of "Söz Vermiştin". Like her first album, Erçetin used elements of Balkan music in this album. Her life events after the release of Çapkın helped with the creation of Elbette. Six of the songs are about her life, and the seven others are mainly concerned with the concept of love. The songs were developed around Erçetin's ideas and were included in the album according to Erçetin's wishes. Music critics gave positive reviews for the album and stated that the work was integrated with the singer's personality and could take the listeners to different areas. The album's first music video was made for the lead single "Elbette", followed by a second music video for the song "Unut Sevme". After its release, Elbette topped Turkey's list of best-selling albums for two months, and by the end of 2000 sold 1,050,000 copies, becoming the best-selling album of the year. In December 2009, NTV's music judges chose the album as the Best Turkish Album of the 2000s.
