Ktheju tokës

"Ktheju tokës" (Albanian: [kθɛˈju ˈtɔˈkəs]; transl. Return to the land) is a song by Albanian singer Jonida Maliqi. It was released as a single on 8 March 2019 by Radio Televizioni Shqiptar (RTSH) and Universal. The song was composed and written by Eriona Rushiti, and produced by Enis Mullaj. It is musically an authentic and rhythmic Albanian-language folk-electronic ballad backed by traditional Albanian instruments. Lyrically, the song addresses the theme of migration, particularly to that of the Albanian people during the Kosovo War in the late 20th century.

The song represented Albania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 in Tel Aviv, Israel, after winning the country's pre-selection competition Festivali i Këngës. It eventually reached the seventeenth place in a field of twenty six, gathering a total of ninety points and marking the fourth year for Albania to achieve the same result. During Maliqi's black and red-toned performance, she was accompanied by three backing vocalists, while the background LED screens prominently displayed a flying eagle and its nest.

"Ktheju tokës" was positively received by music critics who praised Maliqi's vocals, the song's composition as well as its ethnic appeal. An accompanying music video premiered on the official YouTube channel of the Eurovision Song Contest on 10 March 2019. It portrays Maliqi singing the song in smoke and rain, with scenes of two children running, one across the water, and one escaping from the flames. For promotional purposes, she made various appearances to perform the song in Amsterdam, London and Madrid.
