Istrefi started to pursue a professional music career in 2013 and attained international recognition in early 2016, following her breakthrough single, "Шаблон:Lang".[1] The single subsequently secured her a recording contract with Ultra Music, before she left the label for internal issues in early 2022.[2][3] Serving as her first single in over two years after "No Maybes", Istrefi unveiled the cover art for "Шаблон:Lang" on her social media accounts prior to its premiere and announced the song's music video release date as 31 March 2022.[4][5] Bzzz and Leaf then released it as a single on digital download and streaming formats the following day on 1 April 2022.[6]
