The Turkish participating broadcaster, Türkiye Radyo ve Televizyon Kurumu (TRT), internally selected its entry for the contest.

[1] In October 2010, Turkish Eurovision website eurovisiondream.com launched an online petition to persuade Türkiye Radyo ve Televizyon Kurumu (TRT) to hold a national final instead of an internal selection, aiming to reach 10,000 signatures in two weeks.

[2] However, TRT announced on 1 January 2011 that it had selected the band Yüksek Sadakat to represent Turkey in Düsseldorf.

[8] The song was written by members of the band Kutlu Özmakinacı and Ergün Arsal.

It was the first year that Turkey wasn't present in a Eurovision final since 1994, when they had been relegated due to a poor result in 1993.
