After the end of the Operacija trijumf, the Emotion Production formed a band named "OT Band", consisting of four participants – Vukašin Brajić, Đorđe Gogov, Nikola Paunović and Nikola Sarić.

Botric, and was produced at the Universal Music Group.[7][8] The band placed the 2nd, behind Marko Kon and his song "Cipela".[2]
