The revamped version of Albania’s entry for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2025, titled “Fruta Perime”, has officially been released. The uplifting track and its official music video are now available on the Junior Eurovision YouTube channel.
“About Fruta Perime”
“Fruta Perime” was written and composed by Adrian Hila, who previously crafted Albania’s Eurovision entries in 2005, 2007 and 2008, as well as Junior Eurovision entries for Albania in 2015 and 2016. The song was selected through this year’s national final “Festivali Mbarëkombëtar i Këngës për Fëmijë në Shkodër 63”.
Kroni Pula, from Tirana, began singing at age 4 and is currently enrolled at the Dëshmorët e Lirisë school. Outside of singing, she also trains in dance.
Albania’s Junior Eurovision journey
Albania first made its debut at Junior Eurovision in 2012, represented by Igzidora Gjeta, singing her song “Kam një këngë vetëm për ju”. Their first participation was not initially successful, as Albania finished 12th of 12, receiving 35 points. Albania then withdrew for two years, before returning in 2015, achieving their current best result to date. In 2015, Albania finished in fifth place with “Dambaje” by Mishela Rapo.
Albania’s most recent entry was the song “Vallëzoj”, sung by Nikol Çabeli. She finished in seventh place overall, receiving 82 points from the jury and 44 from the online vote.
