Aacayipsin (You're Something Else) is Turkish singer Tarkan's second studio album, released on 17 May 1994. It was released by the İstanbul Plak label. It was recorded at Erekli Tunç Studio over a six-month period from August 1993 to February 1994. Mehmet Söğütoğlu produced the album, and all tracks were arranged by Rıza Erekli. Having achieved great success with his first album, Yine Sensiz, released at the end of 1992, Tarkan worked with a larger team for his second album. Shortly after the album's release, he made a big splash with the song "Hepsi Senin mi?", written and composed by Sezen Aksu. Renewing his style and image with the album, Tarkan received positive feedback upon its release.

The album featured works by artists such as Sezen Aksu, Ümit Sayın, Yıldız Tilbe, Kemal Sayın, Leyla Tuna, and Rıza Erekli. Tarkan wrote and composed songs such as "Eyvah", "Durum Beter", "Unutmamalı", and "Gül Döktüm Yollarına". He co-composed the music for "Eyvah" with Ozan Çolakoğlu. His first album, which consisted largely of arranged pieces, featured several tracks with Alpay Aydın. The duo subsequently parted ways. Of the twelve tracks, seven were released with music videos. All the tracks from the album appeared on music charts, and Tarkan received positive reviews from critics. Following the album's release, Tarkan performed the album's tracks in concerts and on radio and television programs. The album was released in several countries across Europe and Asia. The innovative style of his first album became a huge source of advertisement, and with the release of Aacayipsin and its millions of sales, he became one of the important names of Turkish pop music.

Achieving many firsts in Turkey, he gave over 60 concerts with this album in Turkey and Europe. Twenty-four of these concerts were stadium concerts, held as part of a tour sponsored by Doritos Panço, which brought Tarkan to audiences of tens of thousands in various cities across Turkey. The album, a major turning point in the artist's career, later sold nearly 2.5 million copies worldwide. With this album, Tarkan became known in European and Asian countries.
