Background

In May 2020, Senidah released two singles "Ko je" (Who Is It)[1] and "Piješ" (You're Drinking)[2] to lackluster success.[3] During summer, a number of media outlets reported that the singer had recorded a song with Bosnian musician Dino Merlin and that the music video shooting at Skenderija, Sarajevo was halted by the COVID-19 pandemic,[4][5][6] despite the singer denying the rumours at the 2020 Music Awards Ceremony.[7]

On 27 July, Senidah posted a still from the music video on her Instagram account, revealing the title of the song.[8] On 11 August, a day before the release, she posted a teaser containing a snippet of the song.[9]

Music video

The music video was premiered on 15 August 2020. It was directed by Senidah herself and Slovenian artist Kukla (stylized as КУКЛА). It depicts Senidah dancing and singing on Slovenian streets and coast.
