Elissa started off her singing career in the early 90s on a talent show, Studio el Fan, on LBC. After a long absence, she came back with a Spanish-Arabic single, titled “Badi Doub” in 1998. Her first album Baddi Doub was one of the largest selling albums in Lebanon and the Middle East, selling over 150,000 copies. "Baddi Doub" (Turkish: "Be Adam") featured a flamenco artist named Gerard Ferrer, with music by Ozkan Turgay.
Her second project in 2000 was a duet with Ragheb Alameh "Betghib Betrouh." The song was included in Elissa's second album W'akherta Ma'ak, which went on to sell more than 200,000 copies.
Later on, Elissa was featured with the international artist Chris DeBurgh in an Arabic-English song titled “Lebanese Nights”, which was written, composed and distributed by DeBurgh. He wrote this song while on his last visit to the country. He decided to sing it with a Lebanese singer, and chose Elissa. The song was recorded in London and released in DeBurgh's 2002 Album, Timing Is Everything.
Her third album Ayshalak was released in June 2002 supported by a video clip filmed in Paris by French director Fabrice Begotti, wardrobe and make up by Christian Dior. The video and song were huge successes, and with the aid of the composer/arranger Jean-Marie Riachi, Elissa was able to follow with another hit—"Ajmal Ehsaas" was Elissa's second single from Ayshalak. The video clip was directed by the Lebanese director, Selim El Turk.
Elissa’s fourth album, Ahla Donya was released in 2004. This was one of the fastest selling albums ever in the Arab world. This album was the first under Elissa's contract with Rotana, the music production company. The album included a variety of songs, such as Koll Youm Fi Omry, Erga' Lel Shoa', Hobbak Waja' (Inta Lameen) and Ahla Donya. The album received a 2005 World Music Award for best selling album in the Middle East and North Africa. In 2005, a Special Collector's Edition of the record was made available (1000 copies) with state-of-the-art packaging including a mini-biography.
Elissa is an official spokesperson for Pepsi. In 2006 she co-starred with Christina Aguilera in a Pepsi Cola advertisement. In early 2006, Elissa released her fifth studio effort, the album Bastanak, which has sold nearly 3.7 million copies, according to Rotana.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
تمون عالدمعه واليك بتمون
بتمون يا قلبى عينيك على قلبى
مكان يمكن لو ما انت بتكون
معذور لو جن القلب معذور
بعيون عم تغزل حلا معذور
مين اللى ما بيحبك يا ويلى من قلبك
بتمون على الدقه ولولا القلب شو بيبقى
حبيبى ان غبت راح بشقى راح بشقى
عينك على قلبى شوى و شوى واتوقا
قلبى حنون مابيلقى مابيلقى .
بتمون
مابتخون لو حبك الي بتخون
بجنون شو بحبك انا بجنون
بتمون ياعمرى قلبى مش بامرى
صفا بامرك ها القلب مرهون
معذور لو جن القلب معذور
بعيون عم تغزل حلا معذور
مين اللى ما بيحبك يا ويلى من قلبك
مغرور قلبك يا حلو مغرور
بتمون على الدقه ولولا القلب شو بيبقى
حبيبى ان غبت راح بشقى راح بشقى
عينك على قلبى شوى و شوى واتوقا
قلبى حنون مابيلقى مابيلقى .
بتمون
In "بتمون", إليسا shares her feelings of love and vulnerability. The lyrics convey a sense of dependence on the person she loves, as she fears that without them, her laughter and tears would be meaningless. She reassures her lover that her heart beats for them and that they are the only one who truly has her heart. The line "معذور لو جن القلب" ("excused if the heart went crazy") suggests that even if she were to act irrationally or impulsively because of love, she would be excused because of the intensity of the emotion.
The chorus repeats the phrase "بتمون" which can be translated to "I depend" or "I rely". This repetition emphasizes the idea that she relies on her lover for her emotional well-being. The second verse repeats the sentiment of the first, but with added emphasis on the idea that her heart belongs to her lover alone. The line "بجنون شو بحبك انا بجنون" ("I am crazy for how much I love you") demonstrates the intensity of her feelings for her lover, while also acknowledging that her love may be overwhelming.
Overall, "بتمون" is a romantic and emotional song that expresses a kind of love that is both intense and vulnerable. The lyrics highlight the idea that love can make us feel dependent on another person, but also that this vulnerability can be beautiful and meaningful.
