The song caused some small controversy in Croatia, as many journalists and commentators with claimed it resembled Serbian music, when in fact the song contains elements of traditional Dalmatian music styles. Although the most prominent Croatian ethno-musicians such as Dunja Knebl and Lidija Bajuk disagree, both the composer Boris Novković and Severina affirm that the song includes Croatian folk music influences from the Dalmatian Zagora (Inner Dalmatia) such as ganga and rere singing and lijerica instrumentation. In 2008 she released her 10th studio album Zdravo Marijo (Hail Mary) that is already megapopular in ex-Yu countries.
