She signed a recording contract with NAR Records in 1997 and has released 4 solo studio albums during the 5 years of the contract. As a singer she's often compared to teenage singers of her generation such as Siti Nurhaliza and Liza Hanim. Even so, in 2001 she created her own record when her third album titled Elly managed to become one of the top 10 best-selling Malaysian albums of that year with sales exceeding 60,000 units. The success repeated the success of the previous album titled Satu Persatu which also sold 50,000 units. Elly managed to popularize songs such as "Usah Kupandu Bara Yang Tersimpan", "Janji Kekasih" and "Bungaku Bakawali" which dominated the country's radio charts at the time. Her music career stopped for a while in 2005 due to market factors and recording contracts.
As an actress, she began her acting career after being drafted by the famous actor and director, Datuk Yusof Haslam to star in the drama series Gerak Khas and since then, she has made a name for herself as one of the best-selling female TV actresses in Malaysia.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sekian lama ku kenali mu oh
Masih tetap serupa yang aku rasa pada mu
Hayat bak Merry go round
Berpusing-pusing balik semula oh
Sua setelah lama kita berpisah tak jumpa
Kita masih belum berpunya
Mungkinkah kau di cipta untuk ku
Ku pula untuk mu
Ku yakin akan tertulis
Antara kau dan ku kan bercinta
Kerna aku kian pasti kini
Melakukan sesuatu
Jalan bersimpang-siur yang ku lalui
Selama ini oh
Tiada pernah ku duga
Menujukan ku pada mu
Ku yakin telah tertulis
Kita masih belum berpunya
Mungkinkah kau di cipta untuk ku
Ku pula untuk mu
Ku yakin akan tertulis
Antara kau dan ku kan bercinta
Kerna aku kian pasti kini
Melakukan sesuatu
Hayat bak Merry go around
Berpusing-pusing balik semula ho
Sua setelah lama kita berpisah tak jumpa
Kini bersua dalam hayat yang
Bak merry go round nah
In Elly Mazlein's song Merry Go Round, the singer is expressing her long-lasting feelings for someone she has known for a while. The use of the phrase "Dari minor ke major" (from minor to major) is a musical reference that could imply a change in tone or mood in the relationship. She compares their journey to a merry-go-round that keeps turning and returning to the same place despite the distance and time apart. The lyrics suggest that the singer believes that their connection is predestined, and they are meant to be together.
The singer acknowledges that the path that led her to this point was full of twists and turns, and she never expected to end up where she is now. Nevertheless, she believes that it was all meant to be because they still haven't met their true purpose together. The line "Antara kau dan ku kan bercinta" (Between you and me, we will fall in love) is an affirmation of the singer's belief that they will end up together. She says that she is "kian pasti kini melakukan sesuatu" (more certain now and doing something about it) suggesting that she is taking action to make this happen.
Overall, the lyrics of Merry Go Round convey the singer's optimism about a relationship that is yet to happen. She seems to have unwavering faith in the power of destiny and the belief that some things are just meant to be.
