Vuica is most notable for her 1980s and early 1990s songwriting work for popular Yugoslav musical acts such as Željko Bebek, Oliver Mandić (hit song "Dođe mi da vrisnem tvoje ime"), Neki to vole vruće (hit "California"), Denis & Denis (hit "Ja sam lažljiva"), Boris Novković (most of the Jači od sudbine album), Josipa Lisac (hits "Gdje Dunav ljubi nebo" and "Danas sam luda"), Vlado Kalember (hit "Vino na usnama"), Viktorija, and Tajči (hits "Hajde da ludujemo" and "Moj mali je opasan").
In 1994, after a decade of writing songs for other performers, Vuica started a solo singing career with a mixture of pop and commercial Croatian-Balkan folk. Her biggest hits are 1994's "Laži me" and 1999's "Varalica".
