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.

Nancy Ajram Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
شو هالقصه عنا والخبرية بين الناس من عينيك ومن عيني عرفوا الناس
مين اللي قلن وعلينا دلن وعرفوا كلن فينا الناس
علمي علمك لا تخلفني مثلي مثلك شو عرفني
عني وعنك قالوا خطفني خدني بعيد وانسي الناس
بدي حبك اكتر من ما حبوا كل الناس
وبدك تبقي بعيني انت غير اناس
علمي علمك لا تحلفني مثلي مثلك شو عرفنى
عنى وعنك قالو خطفنى خدنى بعيد وانسى الناس

The lyrics to Nancy Ajram's song "Shou Hal Ossa" tell the story of a couple whose relationship is being scrutinized and gossiped about by others. The title of the song translates to "What's this story" or "What's this situation" and it's clear that the couple is tired of dealing with the rumors and nosy onlookers.
The first line of the song starts with "what's this story about us" and mentions that the rumors have been spreading from the couple's eyes. The lyrics go on to question who told the gossips and how they found out about the couple's relationship. There's a feeling of frustration and confusion about why people are so interested in their personal lives.
The chorus of the song expresses the couple's feelings towards each other, stating that their love is stronger than anyone else's and that they want to be together despite the rumors. They refer to each other as "my companion, my destiny, the beat of my heart, and my senses". The lyrics also emphasize the importance of not letting outsiders affect their relationship and to stand by each other no matter what.
Overall, "Shou Hal Ossa" is an emotional song that addresses the struggles of maintaining a relationship under public scrutiny and the importance of staying true to oneself and one's partner.
