"One Night's Anger" (Semi-1) on YouTube |
"One Night's Anger" is a song by Albanian singer Hersi Matmuja. The track was first released as part of a CD compilation on 11 April 2014 by CMC Records and Universal Music. The English-language rock song was written by Jorgo Papingji and composed by Gentian Lako. An accompanying music video was uploaded on the official YouTube channel of the Eurovision Song Contest on 16 March 2014. The song received mixed reviews from music critics, some of whom praised the singer's vocals, while others described it as a "work-in-progress".
The song represented Albania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen, Denmark, after Matmuja won the country's pre-selection competition Festivali i Këngës with the Albanian-language version "Zemërimi i nje natë". It failed to qualify for the grand final in fifteenth place marking the country's fifth non-qualification in the contest. During her minimalistic performance, she was performing against a slightly dark-themed LED screen whose colors were predominantly blue and white.
