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.

في حاجة أكبر من كده
وأنا عمري كنت أحلم في يوم، أعيش حياة بالشكل ده

The lyrics of "Wana Ben Edik" by Nancy Ajram express the feeling of being lost and searching for a greater purpose in life. The singer is asking the person they are with what they truly need, as they feel like there must be something more significant than what they currently have. They reflect on their dreams of living a different life and wonder if they will ever be able to achieve it.
The chorus then shifts to a realization that the past is gone, and they cannot change it. Instead, they should focus on the future and make the most out of their time. The singer pledges to not waste any more time and make the most out of every moment, no matter how brief it may be. The song concludes with the repetition of the earlier verses, indicating that the search for meaning and purpose is ongoing.
