Today was the official presentation of San Marino’s entry at the Grand Hotel Intercontinental in Paris. San Marino and Serhat proudly present us the most emotional and full of love ballad of the 61st Eurovision Song Contest, the name of the song is I Didn’t Know.
    Serhat recounts through the lyrics a very special and intimate moment in a man’s life, when he totally surrenders into the hands of love. Along with his sensual voice we make a voyage to a personal confession, we embrace deep feelings of love and share personal moments of our lives.

    The music of the song is a creation of the well-known Turkish composer Olcayto Ahmet Tuğsuz, into this song he envelopes the most sensible side of a man’s heart, and the lyrics are written from one of the most intelligent Greek lyricists, Nektarios Tyrakis who reveals with a unique and intimate way the deeper feelings of a man’s heart.
    “Some years ago, right after we first began our successful musical collaboration with Serhat through the song Total Disguise (for which I wrote the lyrics and music), Serhat told me about a Greek lyricist and mailed me some of his lyrics. I sat down and at that very first moment - in no more than five minutes - wrote the music for the song Chocolate Flavour with Nektarios’ lyrics. After that, I wrote many more songs which have not yet been published yet, in exactly the same way. I composed Je M’adore, also with the English lyrics by Nektarios, which he named I’m Movin On and that was the final proof to show us we are on the right path. So, when it was time for the Eurovision Song Contest, we did not hesitate for a moment to write a song with again lyrics by him and that’s how I Didn’t Know was created. The interesting side of this lyricist/composer cooperation is that Nektarios and I have never yet met each other in person", Olcayto Ahmet Tuğsuz said.
     “Serhat, is not only a multi-talented artist who I deeply respect and admire.Serhat is like a brother to me…The brother who I didn’t have the chance to have in my life. Serhat has proved, in every possible and impossible way that he is here for me, no matter what…The lyrics of the song are talking about a flourishing love…A love that grows first into our imagination and without our knowledge or permission can become a love that consumes our whole being", Nektarios added.
    The song will also release in French and Italian versions, the Italian title of the song is “Non Eroio”  by Mariella Nava, and the French title is “Comment Savoir” and it has been penned by Stéphane Laporte.
    The incredible video of I Didn’t Know is a creation of Manfred Thierry Mugler, who is also the Director of the video, Concept and Creative Director and have also the whole artistic team in his hands.
    “I am delighted to collaborate with Serhat and to accompany him on all levels of creation on this exciting project that is the Eurovision" says Mugler "For the music video I just directed, I have developed for him a new vision of a man: a fun Dandy attitude; sophisticated and strong; but also charming and touching. We have great challenges now ahead, with the creation of fantastic technology for the contest and to show the world the man of the future!”, Manfred Thierry Mugler said.
    Serhat will perform in the first half of the first semi-final for a place in the Grand Final. We wish him Good Luck!
