Ölürüm Sana (I'd Die for You) is Turkish singer Tarkan's third studio album, released on 15 July 1997. It was released by İstanbul Plak. He announced the start of work on the album in late 1995. He began work on it at İmaj Studios in November 1995. Recording took a year and a half, and he collaborated with numerous musicians on the album, which was completed in April 1997. As with his album Aacayipsin (1994), the lead single was written by Sezen Aksu. Tarkan, who co-wrote "İkimizin Yerine" with Sezen Aksu, also wrote the lyrics for seven of the album's tracks. The album, which features works by artists such as Turgut Berkes and Pakize Barışta, was produced by Mehmet Söğütoğlu. Ozan Çolakoğlu arranged and directed the album, which was also released in Europe and Asia. It sold over 3 million copies in Turkey and achieved great success worldwide, selling over 4.5 million copies.

The 11-track album featured Tarkan, unlike his previous albums, incorporating elements of synthpop and house music. Five of the tracks were released together with music videos. All the tracks from the album topped the charts, and critics also responded positively. With the global debut of "Şımarık", Tarkan achieved global fame. Following the album's release, he promoted the album's tracks with a series of concerts in Turkey and abroad. Tarkan, who had changed his style and image compared to his first two albums, created a distinct style for each of the tracks released from this album, unlike his previous music videos. The album received nearly a million orders on its release day. One of the most successful albums of the 1990s, the album also became one of the best-selling albums in Turkish pop music history.
