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.

و إنت مش جنبي مكنتش عايشة فيه
و اللي ح يكون بعدك إنت
لو مكنتش جنبي يا ريتني أموت قبليك
إنت عارف حبك إنت عملي إيه
شفت دنيا أحلى من اللي حلمت بيه
ما بقيتش عارفة أنا إتودلت من النهارده
إنت عارف حبك إنت عملي إيه
شفت دنيا أحلى من اللي حلمت بيه
ما بقيتش عارفة أنا إتودلت من النهارده
و لا أنا لو عشت قبلك عشت ليه
آه آه آه
أحلى حاجة في عمري حصلت لما جيت و قلت لي بتحبني
قولي إيه أتمنى ثاني بعد حبك يا حبيبي إيه ح يهمني
نفسي أعرف بس إيه بيربطني بيك
حاجة أكبر من الغرام شدتني ليك
ما بقيتش عارفة أنا إتودلت من النهارده
و لا أنا لو عشت قبلك عشت ليه
نفسي أعرف بس إيه بيربطني بيك
حاجة أكبر من الغرام شدتني ليك
ما بقيتش عارفة أنا إتودلت من النهارده
و لا أنا لو عشت قبلك عشت ليه
اللي كان من قبلك إنت
و إنت مش جنبي مكنتش عايشة فيه
و اللي ح يكون بعدك إنت
لو مكنتش جنبي يا ريتني أموت قبليك
آه آه آه
اللي كان من قبلك إنت
و إنت مش جنبي مكنتش عايشة فيه

The lyrics of Nancy Ajram's song "Elly Kan" speak of a deep love and connection the singer has with her partner. She suggests that life before him was incomplete, and without him, she would not be able to survive. Nancy stresses that her partner knows how to love her, and he has fulfilled her dreams and desires.
The lyrics further express that her love for her partner goes beyond just physical attraction. There is something unique that ties her to him that she cannot identify, something bigger than just love. Her partner's absence would render her helpless and leave her with no desire to live.
Nancy also highlights the significance of her partner's confession. When he said that he loved her, it was the best thing that ever happened to her. She is curious about what else could make him happy, beyond his love for her.
Overall, "Elly Kan" is a heartfelt tribute to the love of a partner, the kind of love that makes life worth living, and gives it meaning.

اللي كان من قبلك إنت
Before you, there was nothing in my life
و إنت مش جنبي مكنتش عايشة فيه
Without you beside me, life was unbearable
و اللي ح يكون بعدك إنت
After you, I cannot even imagine
لو مكنتش جنبي يا ريتني أموت قبليك
If you were not by my side, I wish I died before you
إنت عارف حبك إنت عملي إيه
You know how to love me, you do everything right
شفت دنيا أحلى من اللي حلمت بيه
You showed me a world better than I ever dreamt of
ما بقيتش عارفة أنا إتودلت من النهارده
I lost track of time, I am lost in my feelings for you
و لا أنا لو عشت قبلك عشت ليه
I wonder why I lived before you
آه آه آه
أحلى حاجة في عمري حصلت لما جيت و قلت لي بتحبني
The best thing that ever happened to me was when you said you love me
قولي إيه أتمنى ثاني بعد حبك يا حبيبي إيه ح يهمني
Tell me, what do you wish for after your love? What do you want, my beloved?
نفسي أعرف بس إيه بيربطني بيك
I just want to know what keeps me tied to you
حاجة أكبر من الغرام شدتني ليك
Something beyond love has drawn me closer to you
ما بقيتش عارفة أنا إتودلت من النهارده
I am consumed by my feelings for you
ولا أنا لو عشت قبلك عشت ليه
I don't know why I lived before you
اللي كان من قبلك إنت
Before you, there was nothing in my life
و إنت مش جنبي مكنتش عايشة فيه
Without you beside me, life was unbearable
و اللي ح يكون بعدك إنت
After you, I cannot even imagine
لو مكنتش جنبي يا ريتني أموت قبليك
If you were not by my side, I wish I died before you
آه آه آه
