Alis, who represented Albania at Eurovision 2026, has released his new single “Ku po shkon”. The release marks Alis’ first new record since performing on the Eurovision stage in Vienna.
About “Ku po shkon”
Albanian singer Alis has released his first single since representing his country at the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna. The new single is a dark, moody song, mixing elements of trap, rap, pop and RnB, with Alis’ recognisable crisp, ballad style vocals. The accompanying music video sees Alis driving at night on an empty highway, delivering the song down the lens of the camera. “Ku po shkon”, meaning ‘Where are you going’ when translated into English, includes the lyrics:
Tell us where you’re going
They said to me in a gentle voice:
“We’ll come along; don’t go alone,
Don’t bear the whole burden.”
Trust us with your life
We want nothing from you;
You do as you see fit,
But we share your fate.
“Ku po shkon” was written and composed by Alis himself. The track is the latest to be released on the Folé Publishing music label.
