Suljaković recorded her first extended play (EP) "Otišla je ljubav s našeg kućnog praga / Ja zbog tebe sve" ("The Love Is Gone From Our Doorstep / I Do Everything Because of You") in 1978, with lyrics written by Rade Vučković and music by Šaban Šaulić, along with the music ensemble of Aca Stepić. She continued singing in the kafana while her songs received airplay. The two songs did well, but the success did little for Suljaković's professional career as the public assumed the singer was , another performer, due to similarities in their voices.
