Croatian singer Nina Badrić has released "Čuvam njen dom," a new emotional ballad from her chart-topping album "Moji ljudi." The song delves into profound themes of love and unwavering devotion that transcend time, touching upon feelings many recognize but rarely articulate.
Badrić explained that the song portrays a woman who loves a committed man but chooses to remain on the sidelines, respecting his existing relationship and home. She described it as a narrative of internal moral struggle and self-renunciation for the sake of another's happiness. The song, written by Badrić with an arrangement by Miro Buljan, features a music video filmed at the scenic Meneghetti estate in Istria, directed by Sandra Mihaljević.
The singer is also preparing for a concert titled "Nina Unplugged" at the Opatija Summer Stage on July 1, 2026. Accompanied by the Ante Gelo Acoustic Orchestra, she will perform her greatest hits in new arrangements, alongside covers of songs by legendary artists Oliver Dragojević, Mišo Kovač, and Halid Bešlić. The performance will feature an ensemble of over twenty musicians.
The song is about love for a taken man, a woman who loves but consciously stays aside. The title symbolizes respect for the other woman and her home. It speaks of a moral struggle within oneself and the renunciation of one's own happiness.
