Efi Gjika has released her brand new song and official video clip for Happy Birthday. It is a happy and upbeat song and the video looks a whole lot of fun!

Efi thought of the idea to sing to a child on their birthday at their home in their country. She created a contest via her Instagram account and thousands of kids participated from all over the world. The lucky winner was a little girl from Czech Republic @ellie.lollipopz. On the birthday of ellie.lollipopz, Efi arrived in Prague to surprise her! She, of course, sang Happy Birthday!! The music video was recorded at this time.

Efi represented Albania at the 2019 Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Belarus with Barbie.
