She was honoured with the title Darjah Indera Mahkota Pahang (DIMP) by the Sultan of Pahang which carries the title 'Datuk' infront of her name.To date, she has garnered more than 100 local awards as well as international awards.Datuk Siti Nurhaliza was born in Berek Polis kg. Awah, Temerloh. During her childhood she was involved in various school activities, including sports and class speeches.
Siti Nurhaliza had her pre-school kindergarten days at the Sekolah Tabika Perkep, Balai Polis Kampung Awah, Temerloh. Here she showed her early singing talent at the age of six when she sang "Sirih Pinang", a Malay traditional song, at her kindergarten's end of year event. She had her primary school (standard 1 to standard 6) education at the Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Clifford and followed up her secondary education (Form 1 to Form 5) at the Sekolah Menengah Clifford, Kuala Lipis, Pahang. She was an athlete in school and this showed when at the opening ceremony of the Fiesta Media Idola 2006 in Kuantan she was a torch bearer to light the games of the Fiesta, together with actress Fasha Sanda.Siti had also won a singing contest when she was twelve years old. She sang the patriotic song "Bahtera Merdeka" at a Kuala Lipis Carnival in conjunction with the "Nyanyian Bulan Kemerdekaan" (Independence Month Singing Contest). It was said that perhaps she had inherited her precocious musical talent and singing flair and ability from her grandfather, who was a famous violinist, and her mother, who was a popular local singer of traditional songs.Siti Nurhaliza's family performed at many local ceremonies in their hometown, such as weddings. At the age of twelve, Siti began to learn traditional songs from her mother and went on performing that genre of music during special occasions and events.
Later, as she continued to work on her singing, she participated in numerous local singing competitions. At 16, she competed in the 1995 RTM Juara Bintang competition. While there, she met Adnan Abu Hassan, a famous Malaysian music composer. He tutored her and helped her with her vocal performance, and ultimately she won the contest. After that, she was granted a contract with Suria Records and in 1996 released her first self-titled album, Siti Nurhaliza. Completing her first album was a challenge because she had to balance working on her album with her preparations for the SPM examination. Despite this, her first album was a great success, and paved the way for successful subsequent albums.Siti held a successful solo concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London in April 1, 2005, although the majority of the audience were Malaysians living in the United Kingdom and Malaysians who had travelled just to see the concert. From this concert also, major press in Britain taught her as 'Asia's Celine Dion'-due to her powerful vocal and outstanding perfomances.

She has sung themes for movies (eg. Puteri Gunung Ledang) and corporate jingles (eg. the Malaysian wireless communications firm Maxis).

Siti Nurhaliza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've always thought about the things that I need close to me,
I've never been able to let go so easily
If only they taught love inside of all those history books
I'll teach you to love me and we will never end
Pre hook:
So can we go,
Go back to a place I keep you in my mind
You're all I know
You're all I need
Can I cast a spell to keep you here with me
Everybody's tryna keep you
Away from me
Is it not right to be with you
And be all you need
Cos I get so lonely when you're not here
So stay with me
Stay with me tonight (tonight, tonight)
Stay with me tonight (tonight, tonight)
V2
I've never thought love so magical was meant to be
I've seen it in movies but I never thought it was meant for me
But when you came into my life I felt brand new inside
You hold my hand and said my name and looked into my eyes
Pre hook:
So can we go,
Turn back time
Go back to a place I keep you in my mind
You're all I know
You're all I need
Can I cast a spell to keep you here with me
Everybody's tryna keep you
Away from me
Is it not right to be with you
And be all you need
Cos I get so lonely when you're not here
So stay with me
Stay with me tonight (tonight, tonight)
Stay with me tonight (tonight, tonight)
Tell me if I promise
Promise that I give you
Everything you see and
Someone you believe in
I'm supposed to be the
Be the only one you
You ever need to love
Everybody's tryna keep you
Away from me
Is it not right to be with you
And be all you need
Cos I get so lonely when you're not here
So stay with me
Stay with me tonight (tonight, tonight)
Stay with me tonight (tonight, tonight)
Wha ye ya ye ya ye ya
Oh wha ye ya ye ya ye ya
Oh wha ye ya ye ya ye ya
Oh wha ye ya
The lyrics of Siti Nurhaliza's song "All Over Again" speak about the singer's struggle to let go of the things that matter to her, especially the person she loves. She has never experienced love in a way that feels magical and lasting until she met the person she is addressing in the song. The singer shares that she wishes love was taught in history books, so she could have loved her person from the start, and they would never be apart. She then goes on to ask if they can turn back time to when they first met as it was the happiest moment of her life.
The pre-hook is a plea for the person she loves to stay with her in the present moment, as she fears being lonely without them. She questions why everyone is trying to keep them apart and expresses that she wants to be the only one that they ever need to love.
In the chorus, the singer continues to urge the person to stay with her, assuring them that she will be everything they need and will never let go of them. The repeated line "Everybody's tryna keep you away from me" implies that there are external factors that are influencing their relationship negatively.
The overall tone of the song is one of longing and yearning for the person she loves, and a desire to have a love that stands the test of time. The lyrics are heartfelt and genuine, and Siti Nurhaliza's voice delivers the emotions of the song perfectly.
