He is a student in the Cetinje Music Academy. He started singing at age 7, and he took part in various festivals in Montenegro and abroad. On January 27th, he won MontenegroSong 2008, hence gaining the right to represent Montenegro in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008, that was held in Belgrade, Serbia. The song performed was chosen internally by a 30-member jury appointed by RTCG. The winning song was titled "Zauvijek volim te" (I love you for eternity), and was made by a team of Macedonian musicians - Grigor Koprov (author), Ognen Nedelkovski (composer) and Vladimir Dojčinovski (arranger), the same trio that created the Macedonian entry in 2007 - Mojot Svet. An English version of the song was also recorded, under the title "Never forget that I love you". The song's demo version was presented on Saturday, March 8th and was rearranged until March 15th. Filipović performed the song at the first semi-final of the competition, but failed to reach the final.

Ko noć gradom kuca
Ja ne znam gdje si ti
Srce od ljubavi puca
U praznoj postelji
Tuga pijesme piše
Dok suze padaju
Jastuk na tebe miriše
A dugo dugo nisi tu

Ne daj mi da poludim
Tako je tužno sve
Ponovo moja budi
Zauvijek volim te

Ne daj mi da poludim
Ne mogu više sam
Praštaju Bog i ljudi
Tebi ja pripadam

Ko noć gradom kuca
Ja ne znam gdje si ti
Stojiš na ivici srca
A tako trebaš mi

Opet bi da te ljubim
Da korak pratim tvoj
Vrijeme ja uzalud gubim
Jer ti si, ti si život moj

Ne daj mi da poludim
Tako je tužno sve
Ponovo moja budi
Zauvijek volim te

Ne daj mi da poludim
Ne mogu više sam
Praštaju Bog i ljudi
Tebi ja pripadam

Ne daj mi da poludim
Tako je tužno sve
Ponovo njegova budi
Zauvijek volim te

Ne daj mi da poludim
Ne mogu više sam
Praštaju Bog i ljudi

Tebi ja pripadam
Tebi ja pripadam

Ko noć gradom kuca
Like a night knocking through the city

Ja ne znam gdje si ti
I don't know where you are

Srce od ljubavi puca
Heart cracked from love

U praznoj postelji
In an empty bed

Tuga pijesme piše
Sadness writes the songs

Dok suze padaju
While tears fall

Jastuk na tebe miriše
The pillow smells like you

A dugo dugo nisi tu
But you haven't been here for a long, long time

Ne daj mi da poludim
Don't let me go crazy

Tako je tužno sve
Everything is so sad

Ponovo moja budi
Be mine again
