Since then, Dado Topić has continued with a solo career. He achieved great success with the band Dragonfly and the song 'I Believe in Love' which won the Croatian competition for the Eurovision Song Contest - Dora 2007. With this band, he also performed as the opening act at Brian Adams' concert in Croatia.
