The band rose to fame with a primarily Belarusian-language repertoire, but have also performed several songs in Ukrainian. Their first song "Abdymi myane" became a hit in their native Belarus. This was followed by their debut album Lovi, released in 2014. Afterwards, the band made multiple attempts to represent Belarus at the Eurovision Song Contest. Eventually, Naviband represented Belarus in the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 with the song "Historyja majho žyccia" finishing in 17th place, their country's fourth-best result.
