The band worked on and prepared for the recording of the album in the village Borike in Eastern Bosnia, in which they previously worked on their previous studio album, "Šta bi dao da si na mom mjestu". The album's working title was "Sve se dijeli na dvoje, na tvoje i moje" ("Everything Is Split in Two, Yours and Mine"), after a poem by poet and lyricist Duško Trifunović. Bregović did not manage to write the music on the poem lyrics (the lyrics were later used in a song recorded by Jadranka Stojaković), so he intended to name the album "Hoću bar jednom da budem blesav" ("For Once I Want to Be Crazy"), but Jugoton editors did not like the title. The album was eventually titled "Eto! Baš hoću!" ("There! I Will!"). The album featured eight tracks: hard rock-oriented title track, "Izgledala je malo čudno u kaputu žutom krojenom bez veze" and "Dede bona, sjeti se, de tako ti svega", blues rock-oriented "Ne dese se takve stvari pravome muškarcu", folk-oriented "Slatko li je ljubit' tajno", simple tune "Ništa mudro" (featuring lyrics written by Duško Trifunović) and two ballads, symphonic-oriented "Sanjao sam noćas da te nemam" and simpler "Loše vino" (written by Bregović and singer-songwriter Arsen Dedić and originally recorded by singer Zdravko Čolić).
