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.

M, sais-tu qu'on dit de Moi que je m'accroche à Toi
Pour toucher l'Au-Delà? Et je ne sais pourquoi...
Je ne suis pas les pas de Tristana
Mea culpa, mais d'Allah, mais je n'entends que ça
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey
M, c'est une histoire sans fin qui fait du mal pour rien
Je te prends à témoin qu'on m'arrache les ailes
Si jamais je voulais voler ton ciel, sous XXL
Sous lequel je n'entendrais que ça...
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey
M, j'ai du respect pour toi, je ne courtise pas
Mais ne n'entends que çà
Oh M, j'ai du respect pour toi, je ne courtise pas
Et ne n'entends que çà (que ça, que ça, que ça...)
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey
Hey hey hey (M c'est une histoire sans fin) Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
(M, sais-tu qu'on dit de Moi, que je m'accroche à Toi)
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey.
The song "M" by Najoua Belyzel is essentially about the singer's relationship with someone referred to only as "M". The singer admits that people believe she is clinging to M in order to have a connection to the afterlife, but she denies this and says that she is not following in the footsteps of the mythical figure Tristana. Despite this, she cannot help but be consumed by thoughts of M, as evidenced by the repetition of "je n'entends que ça" (I only hear that). The singer seems to be unhappy in this relationship, describing it as a "history without end" that causes her pain for no reason, and says that she feels as though her wings are being torn off. She emphasizes her respect for M and says that she does not want to court him or her, but cannot escape the thoughts that consume her.
Overall, the song seems to explore the frustration and pain that can come with obsessive thoughts and infatuation. The singer is torn between her desire for a connection to something greater than herself and her awareness that this desire may be leading her down a harmful path. Despite her attempts to distance herself from M and move on, she cannot seem to escape the hold that they have over her.

M, M oh M
Referring to the letter 'M', the song's title and perhaps symbolizing something in particular.
M, sais-tu qu'on dit de Moi que je m'accroche à Toi
Pour toucher l'Au-Delà? Et je ne sais pourquoi...
Do you know what people say about me, that I cling to you in order to reach the afterlife? And I don't know why...Perhaps there is some truth behind the rumors but the reasoning is lost to me.
Je ne suis pas les pas de Tristana
Mea culpa, mais d'Allah, mais je n'entends que ça
I may have made mistakes like the fictional character Tristana, but I follow Allah and that's all I hear.
M, c'est une histoire sans fin qui fait du mal pour rien
Je te prends à témoin qu'on m'arrache les ailes
Si jamais je voulais voler ton ciel, sous XXL
Sous lequel je n'entendrais que ça...
M: It's a never-ending story that hurts for no reason. I'm asking you to bear witness that my wings are being ripped off. If I ever tried to reach your sky, it would be under an oversized sheet or blanket, under which I would only hear (the same thing)...
M, j'ai du respect pour toi, je ne courtise pas
Mais ne n'entends que çà
Oh M, j'ai du respect pour toi, je ne courtise pas
Et ne n'entends que çà (que ça, que ça, que ça...)
M: I have respect for you and am not trying to win you over romantically, but I can't help hearing (that same thing)... Oh M, I respect you and have no romantic intentions, but I only hear (that same thing)... repeatedly.

Qui est la en 2022 ? ❤❤ Un album qui aurait du être un succès quand même. Il n'a pas été très médiatique et c'est bien dommage. Il est parfait cet album. "Au Féminin"
