The rally was organized following the failed coup attempt of July 15, 2016, and served as a massive display of national unity. The music, composed by Alpay Göltekin and Zeynep Alasya , became the unofficial anthem of the event.

: Already known as the "Resurrection March" (Diriliş Marşı), the music's driving percussion and heroic strings were used to underscore the theme of a nation rising again.

: The event was attended by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and leaders from various political parties, symbolizing a "single heart" (tek yürek) response to the crisis.
