Yine Sensiz (Again Without You) is the 1992 album of the Turkish pop singer Tarkan. It was released in Turkey. This was his debut album and launched him onto the Turkish pop scene, which was modest at the time.^[1] The 1992 edition was only released as a cassette. It was re-released in CD format in 1993 with three new remixes.^[1] By 1994, the album sold over 600,000 copies officially, with an additional 400,000 copies illegally.^[2]

In Turkish then album-oriented record market, it was not common the release of singles in order to promote the album. Instead, Tarkan recorded music videos for several of the album songs which were released gradually.

His first released video was "Kıl Oldum", in 21 December 1992. It was directed by Mert Özmen and had two versions, one with children and another with a monkey. In 3 February 1993 the video for "Kimdi?" was released. Directed by Cumhur Atalay and Metin Arolat, there were also two videos made for this track: one in which Tarkan is a post-officer and the other in which he is wearing yellow trousers, like in "Kıl Oldum"'s video.

After Tarkan's appearance at Elma show, on Teleon broadcasting channel, the album's sales skyrocketed and promotion increased. The third video released by the singer was for "Gelipte Halimi Gördün mü?", in 19 April 1993. In 6 June 1993 was the premiere of the video for "Vazgeçemem", which came to be one of his greatest hits. There were three videos made for this track: the one whose background is a fountain, another in which Tarkan sings in a restaurant, and a simple white backgrounded video. The CD with bonus tracks was released in 21 June 1993.

In 23 July 1993, the fifth video off the album was released: "Selam Ver". This was followed in 27 August 1993 by the video for "Çok Ararsın Beni (Remix)". An alternate video was filmed for the original version of the song to be released even before "Kıl Oldum", but it is rumoured that it was taken off air by Tarkan. Lastly, in 10 September 1993, a video for『Söz Verdim』was released. Also,『Sarıl Bana』and『Oldu Canım Ara Beni』were promoted on television and their videos received some airplay.
