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.

جرحتك مرة من نفسي ومن جرحي ومن يأسي
ودست بإيدي على قلبي وبعتك واشتريت نفسي
جرحتك مرة من نفسي ومن جرحي ومن يأسي
ودست بإيدي على قلبي وبعتك واشتريت نفسي

طول عمرك بتجرح فيّ، وبرد القسوة بحنية
لكن خلاص فاض بيّ، ما هو كثر القسوة بتأسي
سنين بدموعى سهرانة (آه) وحبي ليك مصبرني

أنا دم ولحم أنا إنسانة، وجرح في جرح غيرني

صرخت وصوتي ما طلعشي، وقلبي مكانش في إيديّ
آه وقلبك القاسي ما سمعش، رخصت في لحظة في عينيّ

I am flesh and blood, I am human, and I carry wounds upon wounds that aren't mine.

صرخت وصوتي ما طلعشي، وقلبي مكانش في إيديّ
I screamed but my voice didn't come out, and my heart wasn't in my hands.

آه وقلبك القاسي ما سمعش، رخصت في لحظة في عينيّ
Ah, but your hard heart didn't hear, you became cheap in a moment in my eyes.
