Her big professional breakthrough came upon the release of her third and eponymous album and the success of the lead single, the feminist ballad "Djevojačko prezime" (English: Maiden Name), released 8 February 2011.[3] The plot of the music video has a 'violence against women' theme and Maya wore makeup to mimic a black eye, suffered at the hands of her fictional alcoholic boyfriend.[4][5] The video was directed by Bosnian-Swiss director Haris Dubica and premiered on 13 May 2011. It was filmed in Lucerne, Switzerland and featured French, Swiss, Croatian and Australian actors.[6] In December 2011, the song won multiple regional awards and was the recipient of the "Hit of the Year" award in Sarajevo.[7]

The albums other singles were upbeat pop-folk songs which were perceived well by critics and her fans.
