After her lengthy career as a fashion model, Hijazi released her first single was called "Halan" ("Right Away") in 2000, it was followed by her second single "Rayyah Balak" ("Put Your Mind at Ease") one year later, for which she also shot a music video. On the same year her debut album "Akher Gharam" including the hit single "Rayyah Balak" was produced by Dilara Master Production and distributed by Music Master. The critics were thrilled and her first step on the way to becoming a super-star was a hit. It became one of the biggest selling albums of the year, ranking on number eight Official Sales charts published by the Chart Magazine. The debut album ranked eighth on the official sales charts, the album included numerous hits singles like "Akher Gharam" ("Last Love"), "Ghanneit" ("I Sang") and "Rayyah Balak" ("Put Your Mind at Ease"), which were kept Amal on the Top Twenty Charts for six months.
Yet her first steps in live performances were rather influenced by stage fright, even though her modeling experience gave her the ability to capture the audience. But soon she overcame her fears and on she went with her live performances.
Not much later, in July 2001, Amal performed as the opening artist for Raï star Faudel at La Marina in Lebanon, which was her first time in Beirut after her concerts in Dubai.
A short while ago Amal signed a contract, which should bring her into a new light and increase her popularity all over the Arab world.
She released her second album Zaman in mid 2002 with even greater success. The album released four number one hit singles, Zaman, Oulhali, Einak and Romansyia catapulting her to phenomenal success.
A third album Bedawwar A Albi was released in early 2004 followed by the release of her fourth album Baya al Ward in 2006. The album's breakthrough of the same name caused the entertainer to face negative critical publicity and a number of controversies.
The career of Amal Hijazi is surely not over yet. With her passionate voice and her unique appearance she may possibly climb the ladder till the very top

The lyrics of Amal Hijazi's song "De2 El May" express the frustration of the singer who cannot seem to find someone who truly understands them. The opening lines express confusion over the origins of a word, and the feeling that the person speaking to them is not understanding their point of view. The singer feels tortured by this lack of understanding, and wishes to find someone who can relate to their feelings and experiences.
The chorus of the song repeatedly mentions the sound of water (dak el may), and how it is causing the singer distress. The person they are speaking to (possibly a romantic partner) seems to be dismissing their concerns and telling them to just calm down (yallah). The singer wants the person to see things from their point of view - they want the darkness and light (al-'otma and al-dayy) in their life, and they want both the sun (al-shams) and the atmosphere (al-vee).
Overall, the song seems to be about feeling isolated and misunderstood, and yearning for someone who can truly empathize with you and share your experiences.
