After the departure of drummer Ipe Ivandić and keyboardist Laza Ristovski, who left the band in 1978, after the release of their album Stižemo (Here We Come), the band was rejoined by keyboardist Vlado Pravdić, who left the band in 1976 to serve his mandatory army stint, and Ivandić was replaced by Điđi Jankelić, who previously played on the band's frontman Željko Bebek's solo album Skoro da smo isti (We're Almost the Same).

In 1978 while Bijelo Dugme was on hiatus because band leader Bregović was away in Niš serving his army stint, Ivandić and Bijelo Dugme keyboardist Laza Ristovski started working on their own project - the album titled Stižemo with their act named Laza i Ipe.
