The selected music video for "Düm Tek Tek" was set to premiere during the TRT news on March 15. The music video was edited in several ways, resulting in three different versions of the video being presented to TRT one of the three was later leaked onto the internet. The version of the song featured in the music video differs to the original as it has a new, more lively beat. Snippets of the "Düm Tek Tek" video were shown during news broadcasts on VRT and Vtm, in Belgium, showing Hadise dancing within flame-like figures. In the song "Düm Tek Tek" symbolizes heartbeats according to the song's lyrics:ĭuring the month of March, a music video for "Düm Tek Tek" was shot. It has been described as a "rhythmic pattern of Turkish music which is similar to vals in western music". "Düm Tek Tek" is a phrase formed by the Turkish music instrument darbuka, so it can't readily be translated into other languages, though it has been said that "boom bang bang" is one English equivalent. The song itself is performed in English, with the hook being in Turkish. The song resembles the previous winning Turkish song " Everyway That I Can", in the sense that both are up-tempo songs with a Turkish flavor (though some consider it a kind of love song due to its lyrics). The lyrics of "Düm Tek Tek" were written by Hadise, Sinan Akçıl and Stefan Fernande, while the music was composed by Sinan Akçıl. The song finished the contest placing 4th with 177 points overall. In a reaction of her birth country Belgium not making it to the final, she said that she represents now both countries ( Turkey and Belgium) and that she always felt that way. In a reaction about the first semi-final, Hadise said it is a miracle that she made it to the final although she was sick. She also visited Albania, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Romania and Moldova. Then she started her Balkan tour in Komotini, Greece. Her second destination was National Final of Greece in which their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2009, This Is Our Night by Sakis Rouvas, was chosen. Hadise started off her promo tour in Malta, appearing on 5 popular television shows including the National Final of Malta in which their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2009, What If We by Chiara, was chosen. Hadise had prepared three songs as candidates for the contest, which she submitted to TRT for consideration. "Düm Tek Tek" is the entry to represent Turkey in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 and was chosen by Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT).
It also entered the Ultratop 40 ( Wallonia) at 27, marking Hadise first appearance on any Wallonia chart. It soon became number one, defeating " Poker Face" by Lady Gaga. In Belgium, "Düm Tek Tek" entered the Ultratop 50 ( Flanders) at 36, where it stayed there for a week before dropping out the charts. The show was broadcast both online through TRT International and on television. The song was revealed during TRT's special New Year's Eve party show, where the song premiered just after 2009 arrived in Turkey.
