In 2004, they released a few singles for the series Obrechonnaya Stat Zvezdoy. Lizorkina was the last to join Serebro, after she saw an Internet announcement., which had a projected release date of October 17. Unfortunately, there was a delay in the release of their debut album as there were some problems in the track list In November, the girls released the new song, "Скажи, не Mолчи" ("Say, Don't be silent").
