Her previous album, Naj, naj (Best, Best), was released in July 2009. Starting in 2010, Stoja stated that she would release a couple singles yearly, rather than release a complete tenth album. Between March 2010 and October 2012, she released eight "non-album singles".[3][4] Near the end of 2012, she announced plans to record a full tenth studio album. Upon its release in 2013, it featured 4 of the 8 non-album singles, as well as 4 newly recorded songs.

In total, she released nine complete studio albums between 1998 and 2009, making Nije da nije her jubilee tenth album.

Nije da nije was produced by the Bosnia-based record label BN Music, marking the first time in 15 years that Stoja has released an album with a record label other than Grand Production.
