Sebebim (My Reason) is the debut studio album by Turkish singer Demet Akalın. It was released in 1996 by Elenor Müzik. The lyrics and musics were provided by a number of different individuals, including Seda Akay, Niran Ünsal, Hakkı Yalçın, Murat Yerinli, Naşide Göktürk, Tolga Turan, Engin Kuduğ, Özlem Ekşioğlu, Metin Özülkü, and Ayhan Çakar. Tarık Sezer, Metin Özülkü, and Selim Çaldıran served as the album's arrangers. The songs "Sebebim", "Asla Affedilmez" and "Sakın Vazgeçme" were pieces from this album that were turned into music videos.

Naim Dilmener wrote in his review for Hürriyet that Akalın was still inexperienced and her shaky vocals made the album poorly received.
