Panagiotis Kounadis mentions about the song (2010, 15: 13-14):
"The great global economic crisis of 1929 also affected the Greeks of America who suffered greatly. Among them was the great singer Marika Papagkika, who lost all her fortune, fell into depression and virtually retired from discography and from appearing on stage until her death in 1942.
Giorgos Katsaros conveyed with bitter humor the climate of the crisis in his song 'Me tis tsepes adeianes', where he attributed responsibilities to the then president Herbert Hoover. [...]
In Greece, the consequences of the crisis were not so painful for the workers and the Greek people. Two songs with references to the crisis were recorded at the time: the song 'Zoi ein’ afti Zoitsa mou' by Antonis Diamantidis or Ntalgka with Rita Ampatzi (Columbia DG-448, Athens, December 1933) and the song 'I krisis' by Kostas Roukounas (Parlophon B-21668, Athens, 1933)."
