Background and composition

Loudcom Media under exclusive license from East Music Matters made "Albanian: Thirr|i=no" available as a single for digital download and streaming in various countries on 4 February 2021.[1] Lasting two minutes and 54 seconds, the song was written and composed by Gjata, and produced by Macedonian producer Darko Dimitrov.[2] It served as her first single in over a year after "Me tana", with whom she participated in the 58th edition of Festivali i Këngës.[3] [4]

"Albanian: Thirr|i=no" is musically an Albanian language "emotional" ballad incorporating "melancholic" and "sensual" elements in its notes reminiscent of Gjata's second extended play 3.[5] [6] [7] Lyrically, it touches on a past and painful relationship, in which Gjata sings about a love interest who she put at the centre of her world, but who didn't show up for her.[5]

Music video

An accompanying lyrics video was uploaded to Gjata's official YouTube channel on 3 February 2021, to coincide with her 34th birthday.[8] [9] [10] The minimalist video most notably depicts scenes of Gjata with a glass of wine in front of a fireplace singing along to the song.[6] [11] [12]
