Background Proeski's third album with the title Ako me pogledneš vo oči (If You Look into My Eyes) was produced and recorded at Fase One Recording Studios in Athens, Greece. Most of the songs were written and produced by Phoebus and arranged by Manolis Vlachos. Several of the songs had been previously composed by Phoebus and Vlachos, originally released by Greek pop singers with Greek lyrics and musical arrangements almost identical to those used by Proeski. The album was recorded in two versions: Macedonian and Serbian.
The Serbian lyrics were written by Marina Tucaković, while Miodrag Vrčakovski was the writer for the Macedonian version. The album also features Esma Redžepova in the song Magija (Magic) and Harem III. Redžepova's portion is in Romani.
