He is also known in Europe and the Americas, especially for the song ??mar?k (Spoilt/Kiss Kiss/Chanson Du Bisou/Besos). This was reincarnated as Kiss Kiss by Holly Valance after Sezen Aksu sold the music rights. This song is also rumoured to have ended the successful working relationship between Tarkan and Aksu as they fell into dispute about the ownership of the copyright to ??mar?k. They had collaborated on most of Tarkan's hits in Turkey and Europe. Another hit single was ??k?d?m (Shake).
