Uspavanka za Radmilu M. was Bijelo Dugme's last studio album recorded with vocalist Željko Bebek.

[2] The album was produced by Bregović and Gajo Vučićević[4] and featured Leb i Sol member Vlatko Stefanovski (guitar), Blagoje Morotov (double bass) and Arsen Ereš (saxophone) as guest musicians.

[4] The songs "Ako možeš zaboravi" ("Forget, If You Can"), "U vrijeme otkazanih letova" ("In the Time of Canceled Flights"), "Polubauk polukruži poluevropom" ("Half-Spectre Is Half-Haunting Half-Europe", the title referring to the first sentence of The Communist Manifesto) and "Ovaj ples dame biraju" ("Ladies' Choice") featured diverse sound, illustrating various phases in the band's career.

After those events, in everyone's thoughts about Kosovo there was no need to break down the walls, but to keep strengthening them, and in 1983 everything seemed even harder than two years earlier – only the state of emergency had ended.

Maybe the ones who claim that, at that point, it was already too late for the things in Kosovo to change are right, but that Don Quixotesque attempt by Bijelo Dugme remains a notable moment.

[2][6] Reminiscing on the song, Željko Bebek in 2017 described it as a "revolutionary move" and praised its "beautiful lyrics", but also said he was very reluctant to sing it because he felt that Bijelo Dugme was starting to take an overt political stance, something he was not comfortable with.

[8] Džuboks critic Ljubo Trifunović wrote: Uspavanka za Radmilu M. is, without any doubt, the worst Bijelo Dugme album to date, objectively speaking.

"[9] Despite negative reaction from the critics, the tour was very successful, and the audience's response made Bregović change his mind about dismissing the band.

Up to that point, Bregović stood on the river bank, waiting to see what the water will bring, fishing and adapting, staying on the levee the whole time.
