With this album, the band shifted towards a more power pop sound, thus fusing New Wave music with more radio-friendly pop. The band and especially Zana Nimani herself gained nationwide popularity across the former SFR Yugoslavia with their very successful second album Dodirni mi kolena released for Jugoton in 1982. They were featured on the compilations Svi marš na ples! and Vrući dani i vrele noći.
