When asked about how the decision was made to choose the song Nebo as the Croatian entry, Nina adds "I chose the song from the heart, it starts like a ballad, and towards the end becomes very strong."

Initially, Nina had the idea to perform her song in the English language in Baku, but then changed her mind part way through the process saying "The Croatian language gives me more protection and power on the stage."
