Apart from its humanitarian purpose, the group was significant in that it marked the beginning of an independent Croatian music scene and the end of the Yugoslavian music scene. Among those rock groups who adopted a firm Croatian identity and participated in the single were Film, Novi fosili, Magazin, Parni Valjak, Psihomodo Pop, and Prljavo Kazalište.
Despite the time which has passed since the song's first release, its popularity hasn't diminished through the years. During the Croatian War of Independence, it was often played to boost morale either among soldiers on the battlefield or civilians in their shelters. In recent times, the song is usually sung during important sports events and represents a symbol of unity and pride. According to numerous surveys, "Moja domovina" is the most popular patriotic song among Croatian citizens ever written.
