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 "Rah Ellak Keef" by Nancy Ajram explore the complexities of love and the different emotions that come with it. The chorus repeats the phrase "Rah Ellak Keef," which translates to "How are you?" in English. However, it is a deeper question in the context of the song, asking how the person is managing their emotions when it comes to love.
The verse suggests that the singer loves someone who is already taken, and she is struggling to understand how to deal with those feelings. She loves the essence of the person, and she wants to know every detail of their life, even if that detail involves their partner. The lyrics suggest that she is torn between wanting to express her love and wanting to be respectful of their relationship.
The song's lyrics also mention the concept of madness, noting that sometimes love can drive a person to be irrational and all-consuming. Additionally, the use of words like "lateef," which means gentle or kind, and "shareef," which means noble or honorable, suggests a longing for a love that is pure and honorable.
