Albania participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen, Denmark. The Albanian entry was selected through Festivali i Këngës 52, a national final format that consisted of two semi-finals and a final, organised by the Albanian broadcaster Radio Televizioni Shqiptar (RTSH). Albania was represented by the song "One Night's Anger" written by Gentian Lako and Jorgo Papingji and performed by Hersi . The entry failed to qualify from the first semi-final placing 15th and scoring 22 points.

Festivali i Këngës 52 was the 52nd annual edition of the Albanian music competition Festivali i Këngës and the 11th time the competition was used to determine the artist and song that would represent Albania at the Eurovision Song Contest, this time selecting their 2014 Contest entry. The competition consisted of two semi-finals on 26 and 27 December 2013 and a final on 28 December 2013, held at the Palace of Congresses in Tirana. Enkel Demi hosted all three shows with Xhesika Berberi and Marinela Meta co-hosting the first two shows and Klea Huta co-hosting the final.

RTSH invited interested artists and composers to submit their entries until the deadline on 22 October 2013. On 4 November 2013, the sixteen artists and songs that participated in the competition were announced with two previous Albanian Eurovision Song Contest entrants, Luiz Ejlli (2006) and Frederik Ndoci (2007), among the competitors. Orges Toçe was originally selected to compete with the song "Jeta në orën 4" (Life at 4 o’clock), however the entry was withdrawn and replaced with the song "Jehona" performed by the group NA.

The first semi-final took place on 26 December 2013 and the second semi-final took place on 27 December 2013. Each semi-final featured the showcasing of eight of the competing songs. Both evenings were non-competitive and the eight songs from each semi-final all proceeded to the final. In addition to the performance of the songs, each of the competing artists performed a duet of a past competing entry from the history of Festivali i Këngës with another Albanian artist. The first semi-final featured an opening performance of last year's winning song "Identitet" performed by Adrian Lulgjuraj and Bledar Sejko and the second semi-final featured an opening performance by the RTSH orchestra performing the song "Fëmija i parë", the winning song of the first edition of Festivali i Këngës.
