Background and live performances


In 2001, Jelena Rozga served as the main vocal of the famous pop band Magazin while Mladen Vojičić Tifa was the former member of the popular Yugoslav rock band Bijelo dugme. They collaborated on "Zar je ljubav spala na to" whose music was arranged by Tonči Huljić and whose lyrics were written by Vjekoslava Huljić.[2] A music video for the single was also released. It shows Rozga singing the lyrics in front of a bridge and a factory, the rest of the band driving a vintage car and Tifa singing the song on rocks and in front of a factory. Excerpts and scenes from the movie What Women Want (2000) starring Mel Gibson are also interspersed in the clip. Towards the end, both Magazin and Tifa can be seen singing and accomapnied by instruments in a warehouse.[1]

The group performed "Zar je ljubav spala na to" together with Tifa during a live televised appearance on Hrvatska radiotelevizija.[3] On 26 April 2020, during a live online concert that Jelena Rozga released on her Instagram and YouTube channels during the COVID pandemic, she performed an acoustic version of "Zar je ljubav spala na to" accompanied by Milan Terze on guitar.[4]

Background and reception


In August 2022, Rozga confirmed during interviews and on her Instagram account that her then-upcoming acoustic album would open with an acoustic rework of "Zar je ljubav spala na to" featuring Croatian pop vocalist Matija Cvek; a music video for the rework was also announced. Rozga's idea to collaborate with the singer came after she heard his cover of her single "Suze biserne" during his live concerts.[5] During an interview, Cvek revealed that the collaboration was out of his "comfort zone", as it represents a different genre from his usual discography.[6] The rework, produced by Srđan Sekulović – Skansi was released on 15 September 2022.[7]

Upon its release, the song was well received by the press who commended Cvek's vocals and demonstration of singing talent on the song. Fans were more divided in their response; while some felt that the duo's vocals worked well together, others felt it fell short to the original featuring Tifa.[8][9]


Music video


A music video directed by Dario Radusin was released on 15 September 2022 on the singer's official YouTube channel. The photography for the clip was finalized by Petar Vilović, while the singer's makeup and styling were made by Saša Joković, Mijo Majhen and Envy Room. In the visuals, the two singers can be seen walking on the streets of Zagreb as well as lip-syncing to the lyrics in artful settings. Critics and the press dubbed the clip "intimate" as the two singers are seen exchanging "affectionate looks and touches" with each other.[10] Within a week of its release, the video garnered 400.000 views and it appeared on the third position of trending videos on YouTube in Croatia.[11][12]


Charts


The single featuring Matija Cvek was commercially successful on the HR Top 40, the country's airplay chart, where it peaked at number four for the week ending 29 August 2022.[13] The following week, it moved to the fourteenth position on the same chart.[14]
