Her second album Šta če meni ime... was released in the following year, selling in 200,000 copies.[2] In 2011, she made a comeback to recording music after several years of hiatus with the release of her album Psiho, which featured a duet with Romanian artist Costi Ioniță, titled "Idemo na sve".[3] It was sold in 100,000 copies.[4]

In December 2013, Kokić received wide attention for winning the first season of the Serbian television show Tvoje lice zvuči poznato.[5]

Additionally, she also starred as singer Silvana Armenulić in the movie Bićemo prvaci sveta (2015) and made her theatre debut in the comedy play Čekajući ministra in 2017.[1][6]
