Inspired with the events in Serbia at the end of 1990s, Devedesete was Balašević's most politically involved album (for this reason the album was partially self-released). Balašević openly made fun of Slobodan Milošević with the song "Legenda o Gedi Gluperdi", criticized police officers who defended the corrupt system by confronting demonstrating youth in "Plava balada", looked back to the 1990s with disgust in the title song "Devedesete", supplied young demonstrators with an anthem "Živeti slobodno" (dedicated to civic youth movement Otpor!). He reached out, not without shame, to his lost friends in war-torn Bosnia with "Sevdalinka", and showed sincere resentment, but little to no regret, at the 1999 NATO bombing of Novi Sad in "Dok gori nebo nad Novim Sadom".
