"Duje" (Albanian pronunciation: [ˈdujɛ]; transl. "Love it") is a song by Kosovo-Albanian singer Albina Kelmendi and five members of her family.[1] Composed by Enis Mullaj with lyrics written by Eriona Rushiti, it is an Albanian-language pop song that tells the tale of a family's struggle to stay united through a difficult time. The song was released as a single on Spotify on 29 December 2022 and on Apple Music on 20 March 2023.

The artists competed with "Duje" in the 61st edition of Festivali i Këngës and won the televote of the competition, which resulted in them representing Albania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023. A revamped version of the song was released as a single for streaming and digital download on 10 March 2023, accompanied by a music video.
