In 1992, Perković published his first album, "Moli mala" (). By this time he had left active service in the Croatian Army, and toured with other performers of the Rock za Hrvatsku in a humanitarian concert, but he returned to military service for a short time in 1995 to participate in Operation Storm. As time passed, Perković lost his early popularity and through the 1990s he remained relatively less popular. He released some minor hits, such as "Zmija me za srce ugrizla" () and "Grkinjo, znaj, svemu je kraj" (), but regained popularity after "Prijatelji" () in 1998, followed in the same year by his fourth album, "Winds from Dinara", which includes two other popular releases: "Zaustavi se Vjetre": () and "Lijepa li si" ().
