Nawal began singing at an early age, despite familial opposition to the lifestyle of a musician (her family changed their minds when they realized she was serious in her ambitions). She is influenced by the work of pioneering Arab singers such as Egypt's Om Kalthoum.
Nawal started her singing career after participating in Studio El Fan in 1988, she became a professional singer in 1991. Al-Zoghbi released her debut album titled "Wehyati Andak" in 1992, when she returned to her birth city, Beirut, after a two-year singing sojourn in the Gulf countries. Since that time, she has released seven other albums, each proving popular in the Arab world. Nawal takes herself seriously though, and has made it her business to develop extensive knowledge about what's happening within the Arabic music scene.
Controversies happened around 1998 when Al-Zoghbi released her album and single titled Mandam Aleik. The song was originally sung by Syrian singer Houwaida. It was a huge success to Houwaida, but a while later Al-Zoghbi released the album with her version of the song. When inquired about allegations of taking Houwaida's debut song, Al-Zoghbi claimed she had the song for a while and recorded it prior to Houwaida's release. On television interviews, she showed papers showing lyrics of the song claiming that these are the originals and that Houwaida took it from her.
When Houwaida was interviewed about the whole matter, she stressed out that she was preparing for the release of the song before Al-Zoghbi as it was her debut single. Houwaida was said to be more calm about the matter, and mostly asked God to forgive Al Zoghbi for such act. But this didn't affect the career of Houwaida, as she pursued and got quite successful in the Pan Arab media. The song is available on both singers' records and they got their share of popularity mostly after the conflict.
Her album Maloum which was released back in 1999 is believed to be her biggest failure throughout her recording career. As the low selling figures of the album, Al-Zoghbi herself declared regret to rush and release it since the previous one, Mandam Aleik, was released a year earlier.
In 2002, Nawal cooperated with music video director Sherif Sabri to come out with a new look for her song Elli Tmaneito. After airing teasers on Egyptian satellite channel, Dream TV. After full broadcast, Al Zoghbi worked hard on promoting the album by appearing in several TV channels, printed media and more.
Nawal's next album was to appear 2 years after the release of Elli Tmaneito. The name of this eagerly anticipated album was Eineik Kaddabeen. This album was accompanied by two music videos: Eineik Kaddabeen and Bi'einek. After promoting this album, Nawal then began work on her most recent album Yama Alou. She first released the single Rohi Ya Rohi in August 2005. Her first live performance of this was at a concert she held in the Hammersmith Apollo, London. She also made a music video for this song. The next single to be released from Yama Alou was Shou Akhbarak. This was released February/March of 2006. She also filmed a music video for this.
Nawal has released a song dedicated to Palestine called "Ya Quds" (O, Jerusalem).
Nawal participated in a patriotic song called "Ya Omati" with many other Arabic singers. She also recorded a song called "Hikayt Watan" with a number of Lebanese singers for the liberation of south Lebanon. As well as the song "La Ma Kholsit Le Hkayeh" after the death of Rafic Hariri.

في حد يجرح أحلامه
و جنته تكون قدامه
و يسيبها ويروح على ناره
عندك وحاسب في كلامك و أنا قدامك
أنا فرصه لو هتضيعها

The lyrics of Nawal al Zoghbi's song "Andak" are about a woman who is in love with someone who has a strong influence over her dreams and her emotions. She acknowledges that someone could hurt their dreams but emphasizes that she is there for him and wants to be seen as an opportunity rather than being taken for granted. The song emphasizes the woman's strength and independence, as she is not someone who will be easily manipulated or overlooked. She wants him to be calm, smart and attentive to her feelings.
The repeated lines "بالشكل ده هزهق كده، ما أنا ع الدلع متعوده، ما أنا قولتها وكررتها، عشقاك" which translate to "I'm tired of this behavior, I'm not used to this pampering, I've said it and repeated it, it's because of my love for you" underscore her desire for him to listen and respect her feelings, as well as her devotion to him despite his actions.

عندك وحاسب في كلامك ده أنا أحلامك
You have control over your words and I am your dream
في حد يجرح أحلامه
No one should hurt their dreams
و جنته تكون قدامه
He should keep his dreams in front of him
و يسيبها ويروح على ناره
And not give up on them and leave them behind
بالشكل ده هزهق كده
I am tired of this behavior
ما أنا ع الدلع متعوده
I am not used to such arrogance
ما أنا قولتها وكررتها، عشقاك
I have been repeating to you, my love
خليك بقى حلو معايا يعني كفايه
Just be sweet with me, that's enough
زعل وغيره على الفاضي
There's no point in getting upset
عايزاك حبيبي تكون هادي
I want you, my love, to be calm
إعقل بقى وخليك شاطر
Just be smart and wise
مين قالك الصوت العالي غير حالي
Who else but me speaks in such a loud voice?
إدخل عليا بحنيه
Approach me with tenderness
هديك حياتي وعينيا
I will give you my life and my eyes
ما أنا قولتلك خليك فاكر
I have told you to remember
