Who is Marko Nogomet? Mile Kekin releases single about the most dangerous contact in your phone

Mile Kekin’s new single, “Marko Nogomet,” begins with a deliberately dubious claim: 67.5% of men supposedly save their lovers under the contact name “Marko Nogomet,” while women choose names such as “Maja Triatlon” or “Ivana Ples.”

The article presents the statistic as part of the song’s absurd joke rather than a serious finding. Despite its title, the song has almost nothing to do with Marko and even less to do with football. Instead, it follows a small marital detective story involving a phone, the wrong contact, the wrong person and far too much information that should never have been seen.

Behind the sharp humor, Kekin touches on trust, marital shipwrecks and fresh starts. When the love story sinks, the song’s safe harbor is his mother, whose basement already has a band ready to play the Ramones and Nirvana. The mother becomes a refuge after the emotional wreckage of the marriage.

“Marko Nogomet” also announces Kekin’s new album, “PUN.K Mile Kekina.” The album title reflects his state of mind in recent years while pointing toward a practical form of therapy: a run of concerts after its release. The music video was directed by Tomislav Fiket.

The song draws on Kekin’s familiar combination of biting humor, everyday absurdity and recognizable characters. He will perform at Tvornica Kulture on October 9, alongside songs from his solo career and tracks that have defined his work.
