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 cannot 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 the lyrics suggest it is a love song). The lyrics of "Düm Tek Tek" were written by Hadise, Sinan Akçıl and Stefaan Fernande, while the music was composed by Akçıl. The song finished the contest placing 4th with 177 points overall. In reaction to her birth country Belgium not making it to the final, she said that she represented both countries (Turkey and Belgium) and that she always felt a sense of belonging to both. In a reaction to the first semi-final, Hadise said it is a miracle that she made it to the final as she was sick. She also visited Albania, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Romania and Moldova. Then she started her Balkan tour in Komotini, Greece, followed by Skopje, Macedonia. Her second destination was the National Final of Greece in which their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2009, " This Is Our Night" by Sakis Rouvas, was chosen. She 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" was chosen by Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT). It also entered the Ultratop 50 ( Wallonia) at 27, marking Hadise's first appearance on any Walloon chart. It briefly became number one, defeating " Poker Face" by Lady Gaga. In Belgium, "Düm Tek Tek" entered the Ultratop 50 ( Flanders) at 36, where it stayed for a week before dropping out of the charts. Düm Tek Tek was revealed during TRT's special New Year's Eve show in Turkey, which was broadcast both online through TRT International and on television.
