On 18 September 2008, TRT opened the suggestions for the public to nominate potential artists for consideration.{{cite web|last=Yalcinkaya|first=Hakan|date=2008-09-18|title=Turkey: TRT calls for ideas for the next Eurovision entrant|url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/12293|access-date=2008-09-18|publisher=ESCToday}} In October 2008, TRT announced that two artists were shortlisted following public input: Hadise and Şebnem Ferah. Hadise was considered due to her being a likeable artist that would appeal to the European countries, while Ferah was considered as her rock music would be better for the contest.{{cite web|last=Yalcinkaya|first=Hakan|date=2008-10-18|title=Turkey: TRT closer to a decision|url=http://esctoday.com/news/read/12392|access-date=2008-10-21|publisher=ESCToday}} On 21 October 2008, TRT announced that it had internally selected Belgian-Turkish singer Hadise to represent Turkey at the Eurovision Song Contest 2009.{{cite web|date=2008-10-21|title=Hadise to Moscow 2009|url=http://www.eurovision-turkey.com/portal/sayfa.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1684|access-date=2008-10-22|publisher=Eurovision-Turkey}}{{cite web|last=Yalcinkaya|first=Haka|date=2008-10-22|title=Hadise for Turkey 2009|url=http://esctoday.com/news/read/12416|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081023213225/http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/12416|archive-date=23 October 2008|access-date=2008-10-22|publisher=ESCToday|df=dmy-all}}{{cite web|last=Fisher|first=Luke|date=2008-10-22|title=Hadise to sing in Moscow!|url=http://www.oikotimes.com/v2/index.php?file=articles&id=4212|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081216042321/http://www.oikotimes.com/v2/index.php?file=articles&id=4212|archive-date=16 December 2008|access-date=2008-10-22|publisher=Oikotimes|df=dmy-all}} It was also announced that she would have total control of the song she would perform at the contest, including the lyricist, composer, arranger and language of the song.{{cite web|last=Yalcinkaya|first=Hakan|date=2008-10-24|title=Turkey: Hadise entirely in charge of Eurovision entry|url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/12426|access-date=2008-10-24|publisher=ESCToday}} The singer later stated that she would be personally working on the lyrics as well as possibly collaborating with songwriters in Belgium.{{cite web|last=Viniker|first=Barry|date=2008-11-24|title=Hadise to use Belgian songwriters?|url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/12564|access-date=2008-11-24|publisher=ESCToday}} Three songs were submitted by Hadise to the broadcaster in December 2008 and a selection committee selected "Düm Tek Tek" as the song she would perform at the contest.{{cite web | url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/12646 | title=Eurovision Song Contest 2022 news by esctoday - Turin Italy }}
