Berović said in 2016 about her childhood during the Bosnian War: "I had the bad fortune to belong to the generation that grew up during the war in Bosnia. I carry many ugly, and beautiful memories from that period of my life. The ugly memories include my family's relocation in search of a peaceful life, even though, at the time, I was not fully aware of the horrors of the situation. I spent most of my days playing, like any child."

I da sam otrov ne bi se otrov'o (ooo)
A ja noćas sve bih na gotovo
I ne bih stala ma ni pred sotonom (uoo)
(Mmm) Ne zanima me situacija
(Mmm) Ona je tu kao provokacija
(Mmm) Biće problem kao da je racija (aaa)
A ja bih sama, zbog tebe bih sama
Neka digla i ruke, i sebi presudila
A, a to mi slama, a to mi srce slama
I k'o da nema dana da ne bih te ljubila, ljubila
A ti k'o da bi s đavolom ples'o
I lopovu ruke bi odvez'o
I najgore verov'o bi laži
Jer veruješ da siromah završi s princezom
Samo to bi (uoo)
Samo to bi
Da nisam njegova, da nisi njen ti
I 'ajde laži da verujem ti
A ja bih sama, zbog tebe bih sama
Neka digla i ruke, i sebi presudila
A, a to mi slama, a to mi srce slama
I k'o da nema dana da ne bih te ljubila, ljubila
Nikada nisam bila princeza
Ali sam tražila presto
Ona je uvek bila smešna
I valjda sada zna gde joj je mesto
Nađi me u novom Dior-u
Ona skida mi odeću, foru
Ali je nebitna i smara
Kao žuto svetlo na semaforu
(Mmm) Ne zanima me situacija
(Mmm) Ona je tu kao provokacija
(Mmm) Biće problem kao da je racija (aaa)
A ja bih sama, zbog tebe bih sama
Neka digla i ruke, i sebi presudila
A, a to mi slama, a to mi srce slama
I k'o da nema dana da ne bih te ljubila, ljubila
The song "Sama" by Maya Berovic is about a woman who is willing to do anything for the man she loves, even if it means sacrificing her own happiness and well-being. The lyrics suggest that the man is not as committed to the relationship as she is, and that he may even be cheating on her. Despite this, she is still deeply in love with him and unable to let him go.
The first verse paints a picture of the woman's one-sided devotion. She feels that the man takes her for granted, even though she would do anything for him. The chorus is a declaration of her willingness to be alone if it means being true to her feelings. The lines "Neka digla i ruke, i sebi presudila" suggest that she is willing to give up on life itself if it means being true to her love. The second verse is directed toward the man, who is depicted as unfaithful and deceptive. The woman knows that he is lying to her, but she can't bring herself to leave him.
Overall, "Sama" is a powerful song about the pain of unrequited love and the lengths that people will go to for the ones they cherish. The lyrics and melody are both haunting and beautiful, making it an unforgettable addition to Maya Berovic's discography.

Tebi sve je zdravo za gotovo
You take everything for granted
I da sam otrov ne bi se otrov'o (ooo)
Even if I was poison, you would not be poisoned
A ja noćas sve bih na gotovo
Tonight, I would risk everything
I ne bih stala ma ni pred sotonom (uoo)
I wouldn't stop even in front of the devil
(Mmm) Ne zanima me situacija
(Mmm) I don't care about the situation
(Mmm) Ona je tu kao provokacija
(Mmm) She's there as a provocation
(Mmm) Biće problem kao da je racija (aaa)
(Mmm) There'll be a problem like it's a raid (aaa)
A ja bih sama, zbog tebe bih sama
I would be alone because of you
Neka digla i ruke, i sebi presudila
Let her give up and condemn herself
A, a to mi slama, a to mi srce slama
But that breaks me, that breaks my heart
I k'o da nema dana da ne bih te ljubila, ljubila
And it's like there's not a day I wouldn't love you, love you
A ti k'o da bi s đavolom ples'o
And you would dance with the devil
I lopovu ruke bi odvez'o
You'd unshackle a criminal's hands
I najgore verov'o bi laži
And you'd believe the worst lies
Jer veruješ da siromah završi s princezom
Because you believe the poor end up with a princess
Samo to bi (uoo)
That's all it would be (uoo)
Da nisam njegova, da nisi njen ti
If I wasn't his, if you weren't hers
I 'ajde laži da verujem ti
And go ahead and lie, for me to believe you
Nikada nisam bila princeza
I was never a princess
Ali sam tražila presto
But I searched for a throne
Ona je uvek bila smešna
She was always funny
I valjda sada zna gde joj je mesto
And I guess now she knows her place
Nađi me u novom Dior-u
Find me in the new Dior
Ona skida mi odeću, foru
She copies my style
Ali je nebitna i smara
But she's irrelevant and annoying
Kao žuto svetlo na semaforu
Like a yellow light on a traffic light
