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.

The song "Meqten'a Feek" by Nancy Ajram is about being content with the person you love and not wanting anything more than that. The lyrics talk about how the singer is satisfied and convinced with the person she is with, and how she wants to love them as much as she can. The repetition of the phrase "مقتنعه هيك" (content like this) emphasizes the idea that the singer is happy with what she has and doesn't need more than that. The lyrics also mention how the person the singer is with is the source of her happiness and that they were raised to appreciate the simple things in life.
