Background

While studying at the Deree College in Athens, Greece Nikolija started performing in local nightclubs as a dancer and MC. In 2011, she released an EDM-oriented song, titled "Crazy 2 night", featuring DJ Kas, but without any significant success. After graduating from college, she returned to Serbia with an intention to release another song, but without planning to pursue an actual music career there. Nikolija was then introduced by Milan Stanković to Nebojša Arežina and Marko Peruničić from Atelje Trag imprint, whom she started collaborating with.

Nikolija stated that the song draws inspiration from Wisin & Yandel's single "Follow the Leader" featuring Jennifer Lopez.

Music video

The song was released alongside a provocative music video featuring S&M aesthetics,[1] which received comparison to later released "Work bitch" music video by Britney Spears. In an interview for Britney.rs, Nikolija said:

“You have to keep in mind that today is 2013 and it is too hard to be 100% original. Many ideas artists use, then recycle and add something different on them. In any case, I'd be ungrateful to say that I'm not flattered because my music video "Ćao zdravo" maybe has been noticed by world famous names such as Britney Spears and Ben Mor".[2]

The music video, initially met with scrutiny, used to have more dislikes than likes.
