  ## Lyrics
  
  The lyrics of Biću tu have been the subject of controversy, due to them discussing prostitution. The central motive of the song is an individual's booty call with a prostitute. Linguist and critic Danilo Janković described the song's lyrics as "a vignette heavily hinted by prostitution.
  
  Written with dominantly Serbian lyrics, its refrain is repeated three times after the C phrase, once in English, once in Spanish and once in French. According to Andonov, the song portrays non-classic love, more centered around the hedonistic aspects of love.
  
  ## Music video
  
  Biću tu, in harmony with its lyrics, was accompanied with a provocative music video, directed by Dejan Ivanković and Srđan Babović. The video begins with Andonov playing basketball in his backyard alongside Niggor, Marko Kon, Vladimir Ilić and Sky Wikluh. Andonov is later displayed in his living room, drinking lemonade, near his landline, calling a prostitute. Suddenly, 5 prostitutes are summoned in Andonov's living room, dancing and singing. The prostitutes were interpreted by the Cindy models, who later reprise their role in the Biću tu (20 godina kasnije) music video.
