Balašević's first album after the 2000 political changes in Serbia, Dnevnik starog momka featured only love songs, each having a female name as its title (for this reason most songs remain better known by their unofficial titles, for an example: "Jaroslava" is better known as "Princezo, javi se", "Anđela" as "Moja je draga veštica" etc.). The first letters of the songs' names form the acrostic "Olja je najbolja" (Olja is the best), which refers to Balašević's wife Olivera "Olja" Balašević.
