She started her career when she was only 17. Her debut album featured songs with different musical styles of Egypt, including Pop, Shaabi, Tarrab Fusions and many others. In August 2009, she released her new album entitled Mesh Sahla.
After releasing her great album Baet Betwahashny, her image and musical style became connected to Sherine, to be even nicknamed as Sherine's Copy Cat, but Somaya denied all talks, stating that she had her own style and that she was not Sherine's copy.
Anyway, Somaya has proved her being different from Sherine with her two albums which don't have to do so much with Sherine's work.
Similarity between the voices of both singers cannot be denied, but Somaya's musical style, especially in her second album is much more distinguished from Sherine's work.

بقيت الناس
بقالى فترة حبيبى وان وياك ولا حستلك احساس انت فى بالى ولا بنساك عادى زى بقيت الناس
اللى حصل ده يبقى ايه ده شكلى موت ودبت فيك من كم يوم اتغير حالى انا ليههه
يمكن علشان شيفاك ملاك بتخلى قلبى يروحلك بس المهم حبيبى انى بهواك
اللى اتغير بقى خلاك
The lyrics to Somaya's song Baaly Fatra, which translates to "It's been a while, my love" in English, speak to the singer's feelings toward her significant other and how those feelings have remained steady over time. Throughout the song, Somaya sings about how she has been with her lover for a while, and how she hasn't lost any feelings for him. She compares her feelings to those of others who have changed over time and have become different people altogether.
The chorus repeats the same lyrics twice, emphasizing her message that she hasn't forgotten her lover, and he's still on her mind. Then, she questions what will happen if her lover changes and she no longer recognizes the person he has become. She questions if it will be the end of their relationship if that happens.
Overall, Baaly Fatra is a love song that emphasizes how constant feelings can be, even as time goes on. The singer expresses her love for her partner and hopes that they will remain the same person she fell in love with.

For a while now, my beloved, I have been with you, but I haven't sensed your presence or forgotten you; it's been normal, like everyone else.

I've become like everyone else.

What happened to me? Look at me; I'm like a dead person who's been infatuated with you for the past few days.
اتغير حالى انا ليههه
Why have I become like this now?
يمكن علشان شيفاك ملاك بتخلى قلبى يروحلك
Maybe because when I see you, my angel, my heart is drawn to you.
بس المهم حبيبى انى بهواك
But what's important, my beloved, is that I love you.

What changed was your absence from my life.
