Shkodra Elektronike, who will represent Albania in Eurovision, has spoken about her experience in this important competition. In an interview for RTSH, Beatriçja and Kola expressed that people are amazed by our language, which confirms that music does not require you to understand a specific language, but they understand emotion.
"Abroad, people have been amazed by the way our language sounds. This confirms that with melody, music and a very beautiful arrangement, emotions are created, without understanding words, emotions are shown. This is the beautiful thing about Eurovision, we get to hear many languages, including ours, and we are very pleased," said Beatrice.

Kola, on the other hand, said that foreigners like the ethnic and tribal elements of the song:
"Foreigners have been hooked on this song. They like the fact that it has an ethnic, tribal element, which is the çiftelia, but also the rhythm. It's done with tarabuk, with electronic tarabuk."
They confessed that after the first try they received compliments:
"We see that people like this song. It works in a word. After the first rehearsal, all those technicians, those who were there, sincerely complimented us," said Kola, while Bea continued: "sincerity, luck, the moment and maybe some help from above. I'm starting to believe this!".
Beatrice also said that she feels the words of the song's lyrics very much and that she chose them from the soul when she wrote them:
"They are felt words. I feel those words. I chose them from my soul when I wrote them. It is incredible for me today to see people, who are not Albanians, singing those verses."
She said that she grew up far from home and is incredible, but also very beautiful in her life.
"What happened to us is quite special, because all our lives we have lived simply and done what we like, to please our souls. Now that we find ourselves in this position, to represent Albania, I who grew up abroad, far from our land... I don't know, it's a very strong heart. Sometimes I feel small in front of this heart, but it's a very beautiful thing," she said.
