"'Preivjet u'" (English translation: 'I Will Survive') is a pop song by the Croatian singer Ana Bebi, released as her debut single on 5 January 2009. Bebi came to media prominence as a semifinalist of talents show 'Operacija trijumf'.

Song information



"Preivjet u" was written by popular Serbian composing duo Filip Mileti and Milo Roganovi for one of the contestants of talents show 'Operacija trijumf'. It was meant to be recorded by Aleksandar Belov, but it was then given to Ana Bebi after she was heard singing it in the show[http://www.operacijatrijumf.net/operacija-trijumf-vesti/aleksandar-belov-izvisio-zbog-ane-b.html Ana dobila Aleksandrovu pesmu] (although it was rumoured after Bebi started a relationship with songwriter Filip Mileti). The song was recorded by Bebi in December 2008, and performed and released on 5 January 2009, the final of 'Operacija trijumf'. Mileti and Roganovi eventually decided to write and produce the whole album of Bebi.

Promotion



Ana Bebi performed "Preivjet u" at the final event of 'Operacija trijumf', on 5 January 2009 the audience knew each and every word of the lyrics. She also performed the song at both 'Operacija trijumf' concerts held on 19 and 20 April 2009 at the Belgrade's Sava Centar,[http://www.operacijatrijumf.rs/page/news/sr.html?view=story&id=636§ionId=4 Na Uskrs kod OT studenata][http://www.operacijatrijumf.net/operacija-trijumf-vesti/diplomci-operacije-trijumf.html Diplomci "Operacije trijumf"] the 'Operacija trijumf' at the Belgrade's club 'H2O' on 30 April,[http://www.operacijatrijumf.net/operacija-trijumf-vesti/studenti-ot-prave-reprizu.html Studenti OT prave reprizu!] and during the tour she was on with members of OT Band and several other Operacija Trijumf students, covering Montenegro and many cities across Serbia.

Controversies



During the 'Operacija trijumf', Bebi recorded a song named "Preiveu" in Serbo-Croatian. When the song was premiered on 5 January 2009 in the 'Operacija trijumf' final, Bebi 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; Bebi eventually announced that the whole song would be recorded in Croatian. 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 "Preivjet u".

There were also rumours that "Preivjet u" is plagiarized from "Prinzesschen", the song of German singer LaFee; however they were denied by the song's songwriters Filip Mileti and Milo Roganovi. It was also rumoured that the song, which should be recorded by another 'Operacija trijumf' contestant Aleksandar Belov, was given to Bebi due to her romance with Mileti.
