Najoua originally studied law beginning in 2001 at the University of Nancy, but left for Paris to pursue a career in music. She met some success after a casting call when she joined the group Benoît, who had a successful single called Tourne-toi Benoît, which touched on the subjcet of homosexuality. The later singles from the group, however, only met moderate success, and eventually the group parted ways.
Later she met the songwriter Christophe Casanave, whose work had already been performed by popular French acts Steeve Estatof and Marc Lavoine. The two worked together on a song called Stella, which would later appear on her debut album.
In 2005, Najoua released her first single titled Gabriel, an electric-pop dance track. The song became a huge hit in France, and peaked at number three on the Top 40 charts in France. On 29 May 2006, she released her debut album titled Entre Deux Mondes, which debuted at #7 on the French charts and at #1 on the iTunes France music store. In late 2006 and early 2007, she will embark on a tour across France and Francophone Europe to promote her album. She has been compared to Mylène Farmer.

Najoua Belyzel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me what's in your head,
I want to know what's going wrong,
I need to understand.
You treat me bad,
You drag me down, down,
Darling, you behave like a creep
Return to me, don't let me down,
I need you by my side.
My love for you is strong enough,
To never say good-bye.
'Cause Denis you're the one who touched my heart,
Who touched my soul,
But I don't want to let you go,
Away from me, I'll miss you so,
That's why I don't want you to go,
Denis, don't go, Denis.
Denis, you know you better stop.
The little pills you used to take,
Before you go insane,
And because I know you're just a man,
I'll forgive you if you're lying, so promise me again.
Return to me, don't let me down.
I need you by my side,
My love for you is strong enough to never say good-bye.
'Cause Denis you're the one who touched my heart,
Who touched my soul,
But I don't want to let you go,
Away from me, I'll miss you so,
That's why I don't want you to go,
Denis, don't go, Denis.
Denis, don't go, Denis.
Listen to me,
'Cause Denis you're the one who touched my heart,
Who touched my soul,
But I don't want to let you go,
Away from me, I'll miss you so,
That's why I don't want you to go,
Denis, don't go, Denis.
Denis, don't go, Denis.
Denis, Denis, Denis, Denis, Denis,
Denis, Denis, Denis, Denis, Denis,
Denis, Denis, Denis, Denis, Denis,

In Najoua Belyzel's song "Denis," the singer addresses someone named Denis and asks him to share what's on his mind. She wants to understand what is causing problems in their relationship, as Denis has been treating her poorly and behaving like a creep. Despite his negative behavior, she still wants his love and asks him to return to her and not let her down. The chorus repeats the importance of Denis not leaving her, as he is the person who touched her heart and soul, and she doesn't want to let him go.
The lyrics suggest that Denis may have a drug problem, as she references the "little pills" that he used to take before going insane. She forgives him for lying and asks him to promise not to do it again. The repeated pleas for him to stay suggest that the relationship is falling apart and the singer is desperate to hold on.
The song is a poignant and emotional plea for someone to stay in a relationship despite problems that may arise. Its catchy melody and repetition of the name Denis make it a memorable track, and the lyrics show vulnerability and deep emotion.
