Life and career

Early life

Senada Topčagić was born on July 3, 1953, in Modriča, FPR Yugoslavia (modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina) and was raised in the nearby village of Tarevci. While attending primary school, she also temporarily reside in Osijek. At the age of eighteen, Topčagić was discovered by the prominent producer and instrumentalist, Žika Radenković, who brought her to Belgrade so she can pursue a recording career.

Topčagić gained most success during the 80s with hits which include "Treba mi tvoje rame" (1982), "Zovem te, zovem" (1984), "Izvini, dušo izvini" (1985) and "Jutro je" (1989), which is arguably the greatest hit of hers. She has competed on eminent Yugoslavian music festivals such as Hit Parada, MESAM and Vogošća festival. Over the years Topčagić has released twenty studio albums and has maintained a career spanning over five decades.

In 2022, she stated that they were forced to do so, explaining that she would not have done it, if she were to chose now.

In March 2021, she received saw widespread publicity when Swedish footballer Zlatan Ibrahimović used a snippet of "Jutro je", at the Sanremo Music Festival.
