"Work Your Magic" is a single released by Dmitry Koldun, which ranked 6th in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 in Helsinki, representing Belarus. The title is a pun on the artist's surname, since koldun (колдун) in Russian means "magician" or "sorcerer".
The song is an up-tempo number, with Koldun describing the power that his lover has over him, likening it to "magic". He tells her that, as a result of her power, she can "keep [his] heart forever bound". He also promises "you'll get the best of what I've got".
"Work Your Magic" featured on Koldun's 2009 self-titled debut album as a new, longer version of "Dai Mne Silu" (Russian: Дай мне силу, lit. 'Give me the power'). The album was released shortly before the Eurovision Song Contest 2007, and features nine versions of the popular song "Work Your Magic". The CD comes with a DVD which has the official music video for "Work Your Magic" and "Dai Mne Silu". The set also includes a small biography for Koldun and producer Philip Kirkorov, the lyrics of "Work Your Magic" and some promotional photos. The CD/DVD set was originally sold in stores in Eastern Europe (being popular in Russia, Belarus and Greece), then sets were given away for free as a promotion – they were later given away for free with other items such as a Koldun T-shirt, cap and chocolate at the Eurovision Song Contest.
The song "Work Your Magic" proved popular in some Western European countries such as Ireland and Spain, although both countries awarded Belarus no points in the contest final. Three Western countries to give Belarus any points was Portugal (1 point), Malta (10 points) and Iceland (4 points).
