In 2019, Imeri collaborated with Majk on "Sa gjynah" and reached number one in Albania.[12] Another pair of top ten singles in his native country, "Hajt Hajt" and "M'ke rrejt", followed in the same year.[13][14] "Dream Girl", a collaboration with German rapper Nimo released under 385idéal, was successful, including in Austria, Germany and Switzerland.[15] In 2020, Imeri collaborated with Albanian singer Ermal Fejzullahu on his follow-up single, "Për një Dashuri", which peaked at number two.[16] He further released "Si përpara" and "Dy zemra", the latter in collaboration with Albanian singer Nora Istrefi.[17][18] The follow-up release, "Phantom", went on to reach number one in Albania.[19]
