The video for the Turkish entry in the next Eurovision Song Contest has been released. Kenan Dogulo who sings the song is also the composer; his English lyrics are reprinted below. The title was changed from Shake it up şekerim to Shake it up shekerim to make sure that non-Turkish speaker can pronounce it. 'Şekerim' is Turkish for 'my honey' or 'my sugar'.

Shake it up shekerim
Lyrics (Kenan Dogulu)
She smiled at me, said: "Would you like it sweet and low?"
"I know a place where we can take it nice and slow"
I know what you're thinking: don't stop, I need that sweet thing
Telling you now this is real
Shake it up shekerim, I know what you're feelin'
Shake it up shekerim, I got what you're needin'
Shake it up shekerim, tell me what you're thinkin'
Shake it up shekerim, you're my only sweet thing
She said in a sexy lazy low key: "Can I make it right?"
You put your trust on me, I'll take you through the night
Don't keep me waiting, not sure you're understanding
Just how much I crave for you
Shake it up shekerim, I know what you're feelin'
Shake it up shekerim, I got what you're needin'
Shake it up shekerim, tell me what you're thinkin'
Shake it up shekerim, you're my only sweet thing
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
I got lots of candy to make you mine
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
I got lots of candy for you
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
I got lots of candy to make you mine
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
I got lots of candy for you
Shake it up shekerim, I know what you're feelin'
Shake it up shekerim, I got what you're needin'
Shake it up shekerim, tell me what you're thinkin'
Shake it up shekerim, you're my only sweet thing
(Shake it up shekerim), shake it up shekerim
Shake it up shekerim, I got what you're needin'
Shake it up shekerim, tell me what you're thinkin'
Shake it up shekerim, you're my only sweet thing
Shake it up shekerim
