Goran Bregović
had first approached Alen Islamović to join Bijelo dugme after the departure of the bands original lead singer Željko Bebek
in 1984, however, Islamović rejected the offer and Bregović eventually recruited the young and inexperienced Mladen "Tifa" Vojičić. After recording 1984’s self titled album things began to deteriorate within the band, Vojičić’s drug and alcohol dependencies coupled with an un-professional approach frustrated the elder Bregović who was forced to fire Vojičić in October 1985. In April 1986 Islamović received a second offer from Bregović this time accepting to join the most famous band in Yugoslavia.
The album was notable for featuring Yugoslav national hero and Central Committee
member Svetozar Vukmanović-Tempo
singing the Partizan
song "Padaj silo
" at the beginning of "Pljuni i zapjevaj moja Jugoslavijo".
