Neden (Why?) is Candan Erçetin's fourth studio album. It was released in May 2002. This album had significant differences with her previous works, as she was no longer working with Mete Özgencil. Instead, the album has songs mostly written by herself and Aylin Atalay. She proved her success in music-writing as well as performing. The CD version of the album has a cover with fragrance, the first of its kind in Turkey.[1]
