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.
Back to Me
إليسا Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never thought you'd do this to me
I'm thinking this was so wrong
I only live with all that's dear and true to me
You've hurt me for the last time
When my heart mends, I find
You always keep on haunting me
Let go of the past
Is that the way it has to be
Chorus:
My love, set me free
From all this hurt inside of me
Someday, I will see
If you will find your way right back to me
You've played me too many times
I can't believe your love wasn't true
I trusted you with my heart
And now there's nothing, I can do or say to you
You've hurt me for the last time
When my heart mends, I find
You always keep on wanting me
Let go of the past
Don't ever look back
Is that the way it has to be
Chorus (2x)
You've hurt me for the last time
When my heart mends, I find
You always keep on wanting me
Let go of the past
Don't ever look back
Is that the way it has to be
Chorus (2x)

ما بدك نبقى حبايب
ولا تبقى عن عيني غايب
بدك نبقى مثل الرفقة
كذب على قلبي الذايب
ظالمني و عارف اني
انا بشقى لو تبعد عني
قلي يا قمري برضى بقدري
خبرني انت شو حابب
كرمالك صرت بخبي
بخبي الحب الساكن قلبي
بعمل حالي ولا على بالي
مهتمة و مش مهتمة
قدامك كون رفيقة
بسأل عنك كل دقيقة
طمن بالي انت قبالي
ريح بالك من يمي
لوعني هواك لوعني
مشاني وراك ضيعني
خلاني روح مطرح ما تروح
لا اخذني ولا رجعني
كرمالك صرت بخبي
بخبي الحب الساكن قلبي
اعمل حالي ولا على بالي
مهتمة و مش مهتمة
قدامك كون رفيقة
بسأل عنك كل دقيقة
طمن بالي انت قبالي
ريح بالك من يمي
اناني انت اناني
يا حبيبي جرب تنساني
