. When the song was premiered on 5 January 2009 in the Operacija trijumf final, Bebić was singing entirely in Serbian
, and the song became an instant hit. However, her Croatian fans considered she, as a native Croatian, should sing in Croatian
only; Bebić eventually announced that the whole song would be recorded in Croatian. Now her Serbian fans were disappointed — the song did not sound the same in Croatian, especially the word "Ubica" (Serbian: Murderer), which was now "Ubojica" (Croatian: Murderer). The name of the song was also changed in Croatian, and is now known as "Preživjet ću".
There were also rumours that "Preživjet ću" is the plagiary of "Prinzesschen", the song of German
singer LaFee

, was given to Bebić due to her romance with Miletić.
