Her talents were brought to light due to her parents' encouragement, who were artists themselves. Her father was a director and reproduced Fairouz's plays. Her mother had an excellent voice, and her brother Ziad Boutros is a composer and a musician. He accompanied her throughout her musical career. He also composed almost all of her songs.
Julia and her brother were influenced by Ziad Rahbani's works. Her brother Ziad is the closest person to her, as a brother and as a composer. When she was 17 years, she sung her most influential song "Ghabet Shams Al Hak". She got married in 1996 to Elias Abo Sa'eb; the vice president of the American University of Dubai. In 1997, she had her first baby Samer.
Her hobbies include: swimming, tennis, and listening to the Blues; she also likes French fashion.
October 11, 2006, Julia announced a new single album called "Ahibaii" (My loved ones). The lyrics are based on a letter sent by Hizbollah secretary general Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah to the fighters in South Lebanon during July 12 2006 Lebanon-Israel conflict. The poet Ghassan Matar adapted the original text. The music is composed by Ziad, brother of Julia and arranged by Michel Fadel. The profits of sale are to help the families of Lebanese soldiers who died during the Israel-Lebanon conflict.

ع أرضي ع بلادي خوفي ع الأحلام
خوفي ع اولادي من ظلم الأيام
ع أرضي ع بلادي خوفي ع الأحلام
ما بعرف نحنا لوين
راح نوصل بكرة لوين
لا بتنام العين ولا القلب بينام
أنا خوفي ع اولادي، ع اولادي
أنا خوفي ع اولادي من ظلم الأيام
ع أرضي ع بلادي خوفي ع الأحلام
ما بعرف نحنا لوين
رح نوصل بكرة لوين
لا بتنام العين ولا القلب بينام
أنا خوفي ع اولادي، ع اولادي
سرقوا منا المحبة قتلوا فينا الإحساس
ها العالم صار بغربة وتفرقوا ها الناس
سرقوا منا المحبة قتلوا فينا الإحساس
ها العالم صار بغربة وتفرقوا ها الناس
عم يشتروا الأسامي عم بيبيعوا الكرامة
عم يشتروا الأسامي عم بيبيعوا الكرامة
والحقيقة قدامي صارت كلا أوهام
أنا خوفي ع اولادي، ع اولادي
ما تسألني يا قلبي بها العالم شو صار
ها الدنية صارت صعبة وهموم الناس كثار
ما تسألني يا قلبي بها العالم شو صار
ها الدنية صارت صعبة وهموم الناس كثار
يا ها الأرض المجنونة بكرة كيف راح بتكوني
يا ها الأرض المجنونة بكرة كيف راح بتكوني
تعبوا من الليل عيوني كيف بدا العين تنام
أنا خوفي ع اولادي، ع اولادي
أنا خوفي ع اولادي من ظلم الأيام
ع أرضي ع بلادي خوفي ع الأحلام
ما بعرف نحنا لوين
راح نوصل بكرة لوين
لا بتنام العين ولا القلب بينام
أنا خوفي ع اولادي
ع اولادي، ع اولادي
أنا خوفي ع اولادي، ع اولادي
The lyrics of Julia Boutros's song "Khawfi A'wladi" express the fear and concern of a mother for her children in a world full of injustice, alienation and shattered dreams. The first verse emphasizes the fear of the mother for her children, given the cruelty and oppression of the world around them. The second verse suggests that the world has lost love and feeling, and turned into a place of exile and separation. The chorus repeats the mother's fear for her children, adding that no one knows where they are heading and where they will end up, and that neither the eye nor the heart can find peace. The last verse muses on the unpredictable future of the world and how it will affect the mother and her children, and concludes with the mother's continuing fear and worry.
The song reflects the artist's concern for the well-being of her children and her country and her desire for a better world. It also echoes the universal fear of all mothers for their children's safety and future. The song's sorrowful melody and the beautiful voice of Julia Boutros further amplify the emotions conveyed by the lyrics.

أنا خوفي ع اولادي من ظلم الأيام
My fear for my children is the unfairness of life
ع أرضي ع بلادي خوفي ع الأحلام
In my country, on my land, my fear is for the loss of dreams
ما بعرف نحنا لوين
We don't know where we're headed
راح نوصل بكرة لوين
We will arrive somewhere tomorrow, but we don't know where
لا بتنام العين ولا القلب بينام
Neither the eyes nor the heart can rest
أنا خوفي ع اولادي، ع اولادي
My fear is for my children, for my children
سرقوا منا المحبة قتلوا فينا الإحساس
Love was stolen from us, and emotions were killed within us
ها العالم صار بغربة وتفرقوا ها الناس
This world has become a stranger and people have scattered
عم يشتروا الأسامي عم بيبيعوا الكرامة
They buy names and sell dignity
والحقيقة قدامي صارت كلا أوهام
The reality in front of me has become all illusions
ما تسألني يا قلبي بها العالم شو صار
Don't ask me, my heart, what has happened to this world
ها الدنية صارت صعبة وهموم الناس كثار
This life has become difficult and people's troubles are many
يا ها الأرض المجنونة بكرة كيف راح بتكوني
Oh, this crazy earth, what will become of you tomorrow?
تعبوا من الليل عيوني كيف بدا العين تنام
My eyes are tired from the night, how can they sleep now?

I’m afraid for my children from the injustice of time.
I’m afraid for my land, my country, and the dreams.
I don’t know where we going, where time will take us.
The eye does not sleep nor the heart.
They stole from us love, they killed in us the sympathy.
Everyone is a stranger in this world, every one is lonely.
They are buying names and selling the dignity. The truth in front of me is all fake. My heart, don’t ask me what happened to this world. This life became hard and people issues are too many.
You crazy land, how will you be tomorrow? My eyes are tired from the darkness, how will this eye sleep? I’m afraid for my children. I’m afraid for my children from the injustice of time.
I’m afraid for my land, my country, and the dreams.
I don’t know where we going, where time will take us.
The eye does not sleep nor the heart.
