Beyond the widely negative feedback, there were allegations that “How it is” plagiarized the song “The Show” by the Australian musician [[Lenka]]; rhythm, melody, and notes are said to be very similar.<ref>[https://www.n-joy.de/entertainment/Alles-nur-geklaut-Bibis-Song-klingt-wie-Lenka,bibisbeautypalace102.html ''Alles nur geklaut? Bibis Song klingt wie Lenka.''] In: ''[[N-Joy]]''</ref><ref>[https://www.tz.de/stars/abgekupfert-vorwuerfe-gegen-bibi-heinicke-von-bibisbeautypalace-wegen-song-how-it-is-zr-8271442.html ''Schwere Vorwüfe gegen Bibi von BibisBeautyPalace.''] In: ''TZ''</ref><ref>[http://www.kronehit.at/news/vorwuerfe-bibis-song-ist-geklaut ''Vorwürfe: Bibis Song ist geklaut.''] In: ''Kronehit''</ref>

The promotional campaign of the song also aroused criticism. Not many people believed the announcement that additional CDs would only be produced if there was a high number of pre-orders. Instead it was assumed to be an agenda for higher profit.<ref>[https://noisey.vice.com/de/article/bibisbeautypalace-versetzt-popmusik-den-todestoss-und-das-internet-sendet-fluche-aus ''BibisBeautyPalace versetzt Popmusik den Todesstoß und das Internet sendet Flüche aus''] auf „Noisey“</ref> Additionally, the question of the reason for the publication of the song was raised, especially if that song emphasized the vlogger’s lack of talent as a singer.<ref>[https://www.kreiszeitung.de/laeuft/bibi-song-how-it-is-8259937.html ''Ein Kommentar zu #bibissong: Achtung!

Two days after the release, Heinicke responded to the reproaches and the criticism for the first time. In her [[Video blog|vlog]], she appeared surprised about the massive attention and emphasized that not everybody had to like the song and everybody should judge for themself.<ref>[http://www.fr.de/kultur/netz-tv-kritik-medien/netz/bibis-song-ich-haett-gerne-noch-mehr-geld-a-1274370 ''Bibis Song: „Ich hätt' gerne noch mehr Geld“.''] In: ''Frankfurter Rundschau''</ref><ref>[http://www.rp-online.de/digitales/internet/youtube-star-bibi-mein-song-muss-nicht-jedem-gefallen-aid-1.6804599 ''YouTube-Star Bibi: "Mein Song muss nicht jedem gefallen".''] In: ''RP Online''</ref>
