"Fairytale" is a song performed by Albanian singer Eneda Tarifa. It was originally known under its Albanian title "Përrallë". The song represented Albania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 after winning Festivali i Këngës 54.
The official version of "Përrallë" (remastered and translated to English) was released in Europe along with a music video on March 13, 2016 via EBU and the Eurovision's official YouTube channel. Meanwhile, the Albanian counterpart remained in its original master recording whereas the video is available only from the live performance on Festivali i Këngës. The remixed dance version of "Fairytale" was released on August 1, 2016.
"Fairytale" received generally positive reviews from contemporary critics and mixed-to-negative remarks from Eurovision fansites. Caroline Westbrook of Metro wrote: "Fairytale – no relation to Alexander Rybak's giant-killing 2009 winner – is a mid-paced plodder which ambles along quite nicely before breaking out in to a growling chorus. It’s all quite dramatic and not entirely dissimilar to previous Albanian efforts. In fact we’re getting quite used to this kind of thing from them by now – although that’s not necessarily a bad thing. If James Bond were to have an Albanian makeover and pursue bad guys through the streets of Tirana we reckon this might just be his theme tune.
Meanwhile, Michael Carr from Music Feeds dubbed the singer as "an over the top emotive diva" while adding "considering Dami Im is following a similar music path with her offering this year, she better watch out for Eneda Tarifa."
