Hayrola? (What's Up?) is the seventh studio album by Turkish singer Hande Yener. It was first released on 31 March 2009 by Avrupa Müzik on digital platforms and then as CD and cassette in music markets on 6 April 2009. It was Yener's first studio album since her separation from Erol Köse Production and her first major work since the release of Hipnoz (2008). The album contains elements of electronic music. Yener solely wrote seven of the album's ten songs, and wrote two others together with Ayşe Özyılmazel and Erol Temizel respectively. One of the songs in the album was written by Aylin Aslım. All of the pieces were composed and arranged by Erol Temizel.
Hayrola? received generally positive reviews from music critics, some of whom added that the album was of high quality but did not include a song that could surpass "Romeo" (Nasıl Delirdim?, 2007). Teoman and Ali Seval were the featuring artists in the album. Teoman performed the song "Arsız" together with Yener, while Seval appeared on "Ne Rüyası?". The album's first and only music video was released for the song "Hayrola?". The video was directed by Kemal Doğulu. The song ranked third on Turkey's official music chart.
In June 2009, it was disclosed that Hayrola? had sold 37,000 copies, and this resulted in problems between Hande Yener and the production company Avrupa Müzik about making a second music video for the album. As the company did not let Yener prepare the second music video, she terminated the two-album contract unilaterally and in November 2009 it was reported that she would return to making pop music.
