Background and release

In December 2020, while promoting her previous single "Moloko", the Loboda announced that the next single would premiere on 14 February 2021.[3] However, the song was not released on the scheduled date. On 2 March Loboda shared on her social networks that the new single will be released on 5 March along with a music video.[4] The song was written by Dmitry Loren, who previously wrote the song "Lety" for Loboda.

Critical reception

Alexey Mazhaev from InterMedia noted that the high-quality visual range of the music video does not work idle, since the song itself turned out to be a one-hundred-percent hit. He also suggested that in a couple of weeks, the chorus of "Rodnoy" will be sung by a large part of the Russian-speaking population.[7]
