“Druga strana” (“The Other Side”) introduced Jure Brkljača as a solo songwriter in 2015, after audiences had seen him as a finalist on *The Voice Hrvatska*. Brkljača said he wrote the song when he was younger and drew on his own life and experiences, describing it as honest and emotional. That autobiographical origin gives the ballad a personal rather than purely dramatic frame.

Released as his debut single by HIT Records, the track was arranged and produced by Tony Cetinski and Miro Buljan. The collaboration links Brkljača's emerging singer-songwriter voice with experienced Croatian pop production, while keeping the song's emotional center intact. Its official video also helped establish the single as the opening chapter of his career outside the television competition.

The song is not listed among official Croatian chart entries in the sources available, so there is no verified chart peak to report. Its importance is instead as Brkljača's first authored release and an early statement of the melodic, confessional style that would shape his later catalogue. The production gives the ballad a polished pop setting, but its defining context remains the young songwriter's own account of lived experience.
