When she was 18, she left Metković and went to Zagreb to study at the University of Zagreb Faculty of Law.[1] In 1993 she married Croatian footballer Goran Vlaović.

She first began songwriting when she was 25, and her most notable collaborations included writing songs for Vesna Pisarović. In 2002 Pisarović won the annual Dora festival, the event that determines Croatia's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. Her song written by Milana Vlaović, "Everything I Want", eventually placed 11th in the Eurovision Song Contest 2002.[3]
