Her theatrical beginnings motivated her to move to singing. In 1992, she appeared on LBC's Studio Al Fan talent show. Elissa won a silver medal over the course of her stay on the program. Following this, she performed in concert tirelessly until 1999, when Lido Productions released her first album, Baddy Doub. Elissa's debut on the commercial music scene was definitely an event of considerable importance.
The album was a success and featured a smash hit with famous French gypsy act, Gerard Ferrer. The release of this first album took her straight to Cannes, to participate in the International Music Festival of 2000. Following this first success, Elissa then released her second album, W'akherta Ma'ak which in turn included the hit duet Betghib Betrouh, sung with Lebanese superstar Ragheb Alameh. It was a massive hit, and is still played on radio and TV today, over three years after its initial release. Elissa's album, Ayshalak, has been the number one selling album in the Middle East since its release in June 2002.
For this album, Elissa took advantage of the high momentum of her previous two albums, and managed to reach an even higher level of stardom. The video clip of the album's hit single, also entitled Ayshalak, was filmed in Paris with acclaimed French director Fabrice Begotti. Elissa was officially dressed and made up by Christian Dior Paris for the entire duration of the shoot. This was the first time the illustrious French designer collaborated with an Arab artist. 2002 brought Elissa more consecration with the winning of the Murex d'Or award for best female artist.
Hot on the heels of the outstanding Ayshalak, Elissa shook the music scene further by teaming up with world-famous Irish singer Chris De Burgh. Needless to say, the collaboration of these two talents resulted in the historic duet Lebanese Night, which is featured on De Burgh's 2002 album, Timing is Everything. To crown the year, Elissa was included in the 100 Pioneers of Lebanon anthology book, alongside artists such as Fairuz, Wadih al-Safi, and other personalities who have left their mark on the Lebanese cultural, political and social landscape.
Elissa’s fourth album, Ahla Donya was released in 2004. This was one of the fastest selling albums ever in the Arab world. The album included a variety of songs, such as Kol Youm Fi Omri, Erga' Lel Shou', Hobbak Waja' (Inta Lamin) and Ahla Dounya. 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.
In early 2006, Elissa released her fifth studio effort, the album Bastanak, which has sold nearly 3.7 million copies, according to Rotana. In 2006 Elissa again won the World Music Award for best selling Middle Eastern artist for Bastanak.
In December 2007, Elissa released her sixth studio album, Ayami Bik, which achieved a remarkable success in the Middle East and spawned the hit Betmoun.
In December 2009, Elissa released her seventh studio album, Tisada' Bimin. The song Aa Bali Habibi is gaining wide success, especially in Lebanon. The first single is the title track Tisada' Bimin.

In Elissa's song "Taa" she sings about being consumed by her lover and being unable to let go. The opening lines of the song express how her lover's scent has enveloped her and made her attached to him. She also mentions how she stays up at night, unable to sleep and always thinking of him. Elissa goes on to say that her love for him has become her words and she sings for him from her heart.
Throughout the song, Elissa implores her lover to be with her, to stay with her, to not leave her alone. She sings about stealing the stars from the night sky to light up his world and how she pledges to wake up if he sleeps. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "t3a" which translates to "come" or "join me". Elissa invites her lover in different ways, sometimes for her sake, other times for their shared dreams and even by coincidence. The song ends on a plea for him to stay with her because without him, she feels lost.
Overall, "Taa" is a beautiful love song that speaks to the unbreakable bond that two people in love can share. It captures the feeling of wanting to be with someone all the time and the fear of losing them.

عطرك دفاني وخلاني إتعلق فيك
Your scent envelops me and makes me cling to you.
ليلك ناداني و وعاني أسهر غفيك
Your nights call to me and I struggle to stay awake for you.
من قلبي صارت كلماتي
My heart is now in my words.
تضوي لعيونك سهراتي
My nights are illuminated by your presence.
وعدني بليالي ليالي وكل اللي قبلك نسيني
You promised me endless nights and made me forget everything before you.

تعا من قلبي بغني لك ومنضيع اثنين
Come, I sing to you from my heart and lose myself in you.
ولو غبت دقيقة بومي لك برموش العين
Even if you're gone for a minute, I'll call you back with my eyelashes.
ومن ليلي بسرق نجماته تالليل يضيع بعتماته
And if I steal its stars, my night loses itself in darkness.
وبحلف بالغالي يا غالي لو بغفى بدي توعيني
And I swear by everything dear to me, if I fall asleep, wake me up.
