While 003 featured the same poetics as Balašević's earlier albums, a marked change was its political stance, most prominently showcased by the album's cover. On the background collage of newspaper clippings about financial crime, loans and price hikes, an illustration of three wise monkeys provided Balašević's comment on the ongoing political and social turmoil in the country.https://www.nacional.hr/dorde-balasevic-je-znao-kako-se-nekad-dobro-jelo/ ALBUM '003' : Đorđe Balašević je znao kako se nekad dobro jelo 26 April 2020 Nacional hr 27 April 2020 A year after its release, Balašević commented on the album: Initially, the songs I didn't care about, "Al' se nekad dobro jelo" and "Baby Blue", received airplay, and "Slovenska" was discovered only later. Today, this record is remembered only for "Slovenska", because that's a real song. He remarked that "Slovenska" was the first song on the album that came across his mind, but was the last to be finished. It was written and recorded in one day, which was also the last day in the recording studio.
