It's from the album ARMAN, which is available now on Turkish iTunes.                                                                                                                                                       Here's a link to his Facebook (Turkish language): https://www.facebook.com/yildizarmanofficial

I don't think it was a single in the UK.                                     Shake It Off This was the 3rd single from The Emancipation Of Mimi (2005).
