Hayek started her solo career in 1999, after being discovered by Lebanese composer George Marderosian. She studied music at Kaslik University, before taking private courses for 3 years with Fouad Houad and two years with Rafik Houbaika, both Lebanese musicians. Her debut album, Sehr el Gharam - Magic Of Love, was released in 2003 under the Music Master International label, and included the single by the same name which was backed by Egyptian music channel Melody TV.
Hayek's commercial breakthrough came when she signed a contract with the Saudi record label Rotana. Her second album, titled Katabtellak, was released in 2005. It was a commercial success, and included the hit singles, Katabtellak, Helwi Mennak, and Darb El Hawa,.
Dina Hayek's third album, Ta'a La Albi, was released in 2006. It included the single by the same name. The album's commercial success paled in comparison with its predecessor, despite its first-rate quality.
Hayek admitted that some Rotana artists, such as Elissa, get more attention from the record executives than the rest. She was also disappointed with the promotional efforts made for Ta'a La Albi, which partly led to low sales figures in both Egypt and the Gulf region. She voiced her disappointment with Rotana for claiming that they were not able to secure her a performance at the 2007 Hala Febrayer Festival in Kuwait, despite the fact the overwhelming majority of the performers were signed with them. In mid-2007 she terminated her contract with Rotana. She is currently working on new material with the support from Hab Production. So far she has released three singles, including "Jarreb El Ghira" and "Bhebbak Ma Bensa Gharamak".
An active singer, Hayek has given a number concerts and festivals in Lebanon, Egypt and the Gulf region, partly thanks to her brother, who is her manager. Her voice got the attention of the LegendarySyrian singer, George Wassouf with whom she performed in many concerts. She has also worked with Melhem Barakat in a few concerts.

بغمضهن تما يبكوني
أنا بدي عيوني تشوفك فيهن
بغيابك ما بدي عيوني
إذا بعدك طول بتموتني الأشواق
صعبة إتحمل أكثر من هيك فراق
إذا بعدك طول بتموتني الأشواق
صعبة إتحمل أكثر من هيك فراق
بس عيونك ما ينسوني
كثير بتوعدني إنك راح ترجع
ولا مرة بتوفي بوعودك
ولو كل الدنيا حدي موجودي
ما بتسوى لحظة من وجودك
إذا بعدك طول بتموتني الأشواق
صعبة إتحمل أكثر من هيك فراق
إذا بعدك طول بتموتني الأشواق
صعبة إتحمل أكثر من هيك فراق
بينساني زماني والعالم تنساني
بس عيونك ما ينسوني
بينساني زماني والعالم تنساني
بس عيونك ما ينسوني
بغمض عينيي وبحلم برجوعك
بغمضهن تما يبكوني
أنا بدي عيوني تشوفك فيهن
بغيابك ما بدي عيوني
بغيابك ما بدي عيوني
The lyrics of Dina Hayek's song "Bahlam Berjou'ak" express the longing and desire for a loved one's return. The singer describes how she closes her eyes and dreams of their reunion, with tears streaming down her face. She confesses that she wants her eyes to see only this person and that without them, she has no use for her eyes. The intensity of her love and longing is evident when she declares that if they are absent for too long, it would be unbearable, and she would die from the intensity of her yearning. The pain of separation is emphasized in the repetition of the line "It's difficult to endure a separation greater than this." Despite the passage of time and the world forgetting her, the singer reveals that she cannot forget this person, as their eyes eternally remain in her memory.
