...Coming Atcha
Allegedly the songwriters offered Cleopatra to both San Marino and Azerbaijan
I don't know if Senhit refused the song or if Azerbaijan just won the bidding but Senhit's versions escaped to Youtube.
Or maybe Senhit just recorded the demo for the composers, we'll probably never know
Senhit's version.

Are we sure that a demo version including Efendi's vocals has actually leaked? Both YouTube links quoted in the article are still live but even though one is clearly labelled as Senhit and the other one suggests that it is by Efendi, to my ears at least, it seems that both uploads use the same audio with Senhit's vocals?
