2015 single, "Seni Sevmekten Başka" (Other Than Loving You), is a definitive example of modern Turkish Ankara Oyun Havası mixed with romantic sentiment.

Since its January 2015 release , the song has remained a staple in Süslü Ali’s discography , often appearing alongside other hits like "Fıtı Fıtı" and "Sivri Dilli". It represents a specific era of Turkish Arabesque-Folk fusion that bridge the gap between traditional village sounds and modern urban production.

: Unlike slow, mournful ballads, this track has high "melodicness" and "danceability," common in the Oyun Havası genre.
