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 lyrics of Nancy Ajram’s song “Oul Tani Eyh” express the intense love and passion that the singer feels for her beloved. She repeats the phrase “Nancy I love you” throughout the song, expressing not just her love for her partner, but also for herself. The lyrics convey a sense of desire and longing, as well as a fear of losing the love that the singer has fought hard to obtain and maintain. This fear is evident in the lines “wala enta fakrak bi kelma menak, khalas hasamhak” which translate to “You think of a word from you, and that’s enough for me to forget everything else.”
In addition to expressing the singer's love, the song also reflects on the intensity and importance of shared memories and experiences in a loving relationship. The lines “Layali hou sineen omrena” convey the idea that nights spent with one’s beloved are worth more than all the years of one’s life. The song highlights the power of shared experiences, particularly those of shared love, to carry us through even the toughest of struggles.
Overall, “Oul Tani Eyh” is a passionate and heartfelt declaration of love that showcases the power of music to express complex emotional states.

I listened to this song so long ago, i fell in love with her voice, we had no internet or international television to see her.... That was many moons ago in Eastern Europe. After all this time, in 2022 i still listen to your music. I'm not arab nor muslim nor anything to do with Middle East, but your great voice, you culture and history amazed me all the time. Regards from Canada, we love you. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
