Background

Pisarović's last studio album Peti was released in late 2005 through Hit Records.[3] After the album release Pisarović announced on her web site that she would go on an indefinite hiatus to pursue an academic career.[4] She enrolled in the Royal Conservatory of The Hague.[4] She later moved to Berlin, Germany where the recording process of "With Suspicious Minds" started.[5] According to Pisarović the main inspiration for the album was to "not change the musical texture of the songs but to explore Elvis' musical roots with an ironic approach."[5]
