Ajram was born on May 16th, 1983 to Nabil Ajram and Rimonda Oun, as the eldest of two siblings, Nadine Nariman Ajram and Nabil Ajram Jr. She started singing at the age of eight, when she appeared for the first time in 1991 at a singing contest for kids on national television in Lebanon. In 1995, at the age of twelve, Nancy Ajram took part in the entertainment show, Noujoum Al-Moustakbal, ("Stars of the Future"), a Lebanese television musical competition, winning a gold medal in the Tarab category after singing a song by Umm Kulthum.
Ajram studied music following her early success with renowned Lebanese musicians and although she was less than 18 years old, the syndicate of professional artists in Lebanon accepted her as a member because they found her to be an exceptional talent and deserved to be qualified as a professional artist. Shortly afterwards Nancy released her first album, Mihtagalak ("I Need You') in 1998, with most of its songs holding a pure Tarab style, thus starting her music career at the age of 15. It was followed by Sheel Oyoonak Anni ("Take Your Eyes Off Of Me") in 2000, which achieved more success.

مين قشرها و مين فرقها
مين دحرجها على ضراضیره
مين يدعيلوا يكثر خيره
أدى البيضه و اللى سلقها
مين قشرها و مين فرقها
مين دحرجها على ضراضیره
مين يدعيلوا يكثر خيره
و ح نديلوا صحن زبادى
ح نغنيلوا حادى يا بادى
و ح نديلوا صحن زبادى
رش النور واضحك يا جميل
شمسك تطلع نص الليل
أدى البيضه و اللى سلقها
مين قشرها و مين فرقها
مين دحرجها على ضراضيره
مين يدعيلوا يكثر خيره
قولت لى أبوه و أخته و أخوه
أوعى تقولو نينا وهو
نقرو بايديكم ع الحيطه
وصح يا تيتا بترنبيته

The lyrics of the song "Ady El Beda" by Nancy Ajram presents an interesting interpretation of the age-old question of how a particular task gets done. The song begins with the question of who boiled the egg and who peeled it, followed by who rolled it on the table, and who wished good on the task. These questions appear to be rhetorical as it is implied that the answer doesn't matter. Rather, the focus is on the notion that a collective effort is required to complete even the simplest of tasks, and every person involved has their own role to play.
The last few lines of the song prompt listeners to sing and dance, with the lyrics encouraging laughter and joy. The idea behind this could be seen as a call to celebrate the small victories of life, such as successfully boiling an egg, and to acknowledge the importance of teamwork in achieving these small successes.
Overall, "Ady El Beda" is a fun, buoyant song that celebrates the power of companionship and the harmony of a group working together. It encourages camaraderie and laughter, all of which contribute to maintaining a joyful and happy life.
