"Dambaje" is a song by the Albanian singer Mishela Rapo. It will represent Albania at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2015 in Sofia, Bulgaria.[1][3][4]

On 27 of May 2015, RTSH held the Festivali 53 i Femijeve contest. The winner of the contest would be selected to represent Albania at the forthcoming Junior Eurovision Song Contest. Mishela Rapo won the contest and, thus, won the right to represent Albania in Bulgaria on 21 November. The music is composed by Adrian Hila, while the lyrics are by Pandi Laço. Both have worked together on songs for Eurovision to represent Albania. While the song is performed in Albanian, it also has a line in six other languages.
