Hear My Plea

"Hear My Plea" was the Albanian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007, performed in English and Albanian by Frederik Ndoci.

At the close of voting, the song had received 49 points, placing 17th in a field of 28, failing to qualify for the final.This is also the worst placing of Albania in Eurovision history.

An Albanian-only version of the song was recorded, entitled "Balada e gurit" (The stone ballad).

The song was succeeded as Albanian representative at the 2008 contest by Olta Boka with "Zemrën e lamë peng".
