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.

باينه زى الشمس اهى بوضوح

The song "Kol El Hikaya" by Nancy Ajram talks about the transience of life and the fact that everything comes and goes. The opening line "Kol El Hikaya yanass beteji wa trooh" means "All stories come and go, people come and go." The song reflects on how people often take things for granted and fail to appreciate them until they are gone. It reminds us that we are all passengers on the ship of Noah and that nobody can take anything with them when they leave this world.
The chorus "We're all passengers on the ship of Noah, and nobody takes anything with them" highlights the futility of material possessions and the importance of cherishing what we have while we still have it. The second verse "The people only care about spearing the shark" is a metaphor for how many people are only interested in surface-level matters and fail to think deeply about the true meaning of life. The song's repeated emphasis on the idea that "all stories come and go" is a reminder that we should make the most of the time we have and appreciate the people and things we have in our lives.
Overall, "Kol El Hikaya" is a reflective song that encourages us to stop and consider the fragility and impermanence of life. It reminds us to live in the moment and appreciate what we have while we have it.
