Rock music is a broad genre of popular music that originated as "rock and roll" in the United States in the early 1950s, and developed into a range of different styles in the 1960s and later, particularly in the United Kingdom and in the United States. It has its roots in 1940s and 1950s rock and roll, a style which drew heavily on the genres of blues, rhythm and blues, and from country music. Rock music also drew strongly on a number of other genres such as electric blues and folk, and incorporated influences from jazz, classical and other musical styles. Musically, rock has centered on the electric guitar, usually as part of a rock group with electric bass, drums, and one or more singers. Usually, rock is song-based music usually with a 4/4 time signature using a verse–chorus form, but the genre has become extremely diverse. Like pop music, lyrics often stress romantic love but also address a wide variety of other themes that are frequently social or political.

The song, a hard rock ballad about a fame-hungry model, was originally written during the time Riblja Čorba leader Bora Đorđević was a member of the acoustic rock band Suncokret. The song led to a clash between Đorđević and other members, which caused Đorđević to leave Suncokret and join Rani Mraz. After only three months spent in Rani Mraz, Đorđević left the band and with the members of the band SOS formed Riblja Čorba, which released "Lutka sa naslovne strane" as their debut single. On the song recording jazz trumpeter Stjepko Gut played the piano.
