Balay's hit single "Nazlı Yarim Haber Salmış" has a very sorrowful content and some find it even brutal. The song is about the hardship in the lives of the poor in 1970s' Turkey. The lyrics as "kimi Parislere gider eğlenir" (some go to Paris and have fun) is in fact about the rich. According to Balay, rich do not have the phenomenon "geçim sıkıntısı" in their lives. But the struggle of life is a very different rage for the poor. "kimi sokaklarda durur dinlenir" (some beg for money in the streets) is about beggars, "kimi insan satar öyle geçinir" (some sell humans and make a living) is about a way of very illegal and wrong way to make a living.
