In 2018, Papa and Vidović decided to rebrand, replacing dark pop sound with nostalgic synthwave sound of the '80s and starting to make music in their native Croatian.[6] Under the new name Pocket Palma, they released an EP Godišnji in summer 2019. During the same year, they signed a contract with Croatian label Aquarius Records and released their self-titled debut album in Croatian. That same year, Bruno Žabek joined the band as the guitarist.
Papa and Vidović met in high school in 2012 and, started making covers of songs by Arctic Monkeys and Guns N' Roses "for fun". They both attended elementary music school, where Papa played the flute and Vidović played the piano. Following their graduation from high school, they enrolled in the Faculty of Philosophy and Social Sciences at the University of Zagreb.
In 2013, they released their debut single "Things Which No One Else Should Know About" under the name Side Project, after which they began working on their debut album. In March 2015, they released a music video for their new single "Glitter", directed by Filip "Philatz" Filković. On 4 September the same year, they released their debut studio album Things Which No One Else Should Know About. They promoted the album by holding a concert in Tvornica Kulture, Zagreb on 5 December.
In 2016, they released singles "Guns" and "Giving Souls Away". In June 2017, they released their new single "Second Skin", inspired by Zagreb Pride 2017. In September the same year, they released the lead single off their sophomore album of the same name, "Lonely Boys". During the same year, they recorded official soundtrack for Filip Filković's short dystopian film The Last Well, which was released in November. In December, Lonely Boys was released.
In 2018, Papa revealed they had dropped out of university.
Papa and Vidović stated that they had spent most of 2018 separated, consequently not knowing how to make music for Side Project together as they both had headed in different directions. They simply "were not inspired to make new Side Project material". During one of their sessions, they decided to translate one of the songs they had written to Croatian and thought it "sounded cool". In spring 2018, they composed new music and wrote lyrics about going to the seaside, going out of the city, and summer love in English to it. They said they had decided to try themselves out in synth pop "after Vidović had wandered to Yugoslav synth pop playlists on YouTube". In the beginning of 2019, they decided to write about the same topics, but in Croatian instead. They released their debut single in Croatian, titled "Godišnji", under the new name Pocket Palma. In May 2019, they released a mini-album of the same name. Until the autumn, they scored a radio hit "Ono što nam inače nedostaje".
After Pocket Palma's music had been taken down from online platforms, Papa and Vidović announced in October they had signed a contract with Croatian label Aquarius Records. In December, they released their debut self-titled album in Croatian for Aquarius. It consisted of all songs from Godišnji, as well as four new songs. The album was met with universal acclaim by the critics, who compared it with Croatian bands Nipplepeople and Denis & Denis.
On 31 January 2020, Aquarius Records rereleased the duo's Side Project works. On 29 February, they held a concert in Tvornica Kulture, Zagreb. In March, they released two collaborations, "Voli me" with ManGroove and "Minuta (PP Version)" with Ida Prester.

U autu smo, nitko ništa ne priča
Subota, nestajemo, nema nas
A pitam se jesmo dali vremena
Nebitno, na kraju krajeva
Kad nema te, ja te ne trebam
Čuli smo na TV-u, najava
Čemu sada to negiranje
Svega dobroga što bilo je
To je, valjda, tvoje biranje
Da lakše preboliš što bilo je
Subota nakon valentinova
U autu smo, nitko ništa ne priča
Subota, nestajemo, nema nas
A pitam se jesmo dali vremena
Ormar ispunjavam tvojim stvarima
U sobi sad napokon je svježi zrak
Ne palim radijator, grije me ja
Ne palim radijator, dosta sam ja
Trebao sam znat da to ima kraj
Jer nisam nikad priznô da me živciraš
Naravno da nekad želim tebe, znaj
Još uvek boli što me tako živciraš
Čemu sada to negiranje
Svega dobroga što bilo je
To je, valjda, tvoje biranje
Da lakše preboliš što bilo je

The lyrics of Pocket Palma's song "Subota Nakon Valentinova" depict a sense of melancholy and reflection on a relationship that seems to be coming to an end. The song begins by setting the scene on a Saturday after Valentine's Day, where the singer and their partner are in the car, but there is silence between them. The lyrics suggest a feeling of detachment and the question arises whether they have given each other enough time.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on the aftermath of a breakup. They mention that they heard an announcement on TV a week before the separation, indicating that the end was imminent. The lines convey a sense of resignation and acceptance of the situation, even though there may have been denial and attempts to downplay the significance of the relationship's ending.
The second verse delves into the physical and emotional aftermath of the breakup. The singer is clearing out their partner's belongings, and there is a sense of relief in the room now that there is fresh air and warmth without needing to turn on the radiator. Despite a realization that the relationship had its flaws and frustrations, there is still a lingering pain and longing for the other person, indicating the complexity of emotions involved in letting go.
The repetition of the chorus reinforces the theme of denial and questioning whether the relationship was given enough time to flourish or whether it was doomed to end. The lyrics reflect on the moments of silence and disappearing connection between the couple, hinting at the introspection and emotional turmoil that follows a breakup. The song captures the bittersweet nature of love lost and the struggle to come to terms with the end of a relationship.

Subota nakon valentinova
The Saturday after Valentine's Day
U autu smo, nitko ništa ne priča
We're in the car, nobody's saying anything
Subota, nestajemo, nema nas
Saturday, we're disappearing, we're not here
A pitam se jesmo dali vremena
And I wonder if we've given each other time
Nebitno, na kraju krajeva
It doesn't matter, in the end
Kad nema te, ja te ne trebam
When you're not here, I don't need you
Čuli smo na TV-u, najava
We heard on TV, the announcement
Tjedan dana prije rastanka
A week before the breakup
Čemu sada to negiranje
Why deny it now
Svega dobroga što bilo je
All the good that was there
To je, valjda, tvoje biranje
It must be your choice
Da lakše preboliš što bilo je
To make it easier to get over what was
Ormar ispunjavam tvojim stvarima
I fill the closet with your things
U sobi sad napokon je svježi zrak
In the room now there's finally fresh air
Ne palim radijator, grije me ja
I don't turn on the heater, I warm myself
Dosta sam ja
I've had enough
Trebao sam znat da to ima kraj
I should have known it would end
Jer nisam nikad priznô da me živciraš
Because I never admitted that you irritate me
Naravno da nekad želim tebe, znaj
Of course, sometimes I want you, know that
Još uvek boli što me tako živciraš
It still hurts that you irritate me
Čemu sada to negiranje
Why deny it now
Čemu sada to negiranje
Why deny it now
Čemu sada to negiranje
Why deny it now
