"Suus" (; []) is a song by Kosovar singer and songwriter Rona Nishliu. It was released as part of a CD compilation on 4 May 2012 by Universal Music. The song was written by the singer herself and composed by Florent Boshnjaku. Musically, it is an Albanian-language folklore-inspired ballad, which lyrically addresses an emotional circumstance reflecting the moments that occurred in the past and the expectations of insecure tomorrows.
The song represented Albania in the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest in Baku, Azerbaijan, after winning the country's pre-selection competition Festivali i Këngës. It reached the fifth place in a field of twenty-six, scoring a total of one hundred and forty six points and remaining the country's highest placement to date.
