New York, NY (July 17, 2025) – After four years of chart-topping singles and landmark cultural appearances, Nancy Ajram releases her highly anticipated eleventh studio album, Nancy 11, a bold, confident body of work that showcases the evolution of an artist who continues to define Arabic pop two decades into her career.
Musically, Nancy 11 is her most dynamic and diverse project yet. It spans a wide range of sounds from heavy bass-driven tracks and upbeat percussion to slower, emotionally rich songs influenced by pop-rock and R&B all while staying true to her identity as a voice of the Arab world. Performed in both Egyptian and Lebanese dialects, the album reflects the power of regional culture and Ajram’s ability to push boundaries while honoring tradition. Lyrically, the album explores themes of self-love, emotional resilience, and personal reflection; a look into the journey Nancy has navigated as a woman, a mother and an artist in the public eye.
One of the album’s highlight tracks, “Sidi Ya Sidi,” brings the vibrant sounds of Morocco, beats of the Gulf and Egyptian lyrics, by a Lebanese artist showcasing the best mix the MENA region can offer for global tastemakers. A vibrant, cross-cultural anthem, the song unifies the Arab world through sound, language, and identity. The chorus is simple, rhythmic, and incredibly catchy, making it highly accessible to non-Arabic speakers and primed for global virality.
Ajram’s influence goes far beyond the Arab world. In a career that began before the digital era, she has built one of the most enduring fanbases in global music, amassing nearly 5 billion streams across platforms. She was among the first Arab artists to break through internationally, at a time when such visibility was rare; long before streaming or social media made regional crossovers more accessible.
Her global presence continues to grow from becoming the first Arab artist featured on a FIFA World Cup soundtrack, to sharing the stage with Celine Dion, Camila Cabello, and Jennifer Lopez, and recently representing Tiffany & Co. alongside BLACKPINK’s Lisa and Anya Taylor-Joy as the brand’s only Arab global ambassador. She’s also been praised by Oprah, recognized by Billie Eilish, and performed with Enrique Iglesias; all while winning three World Music Awards and becoming one of the first Arab acts to cross the 1 billion view mark on YouTube.
For an artist who helped lay the groundwork and is a pillar of today’s global Arab music wave, Nancy 11 is both a celebration of legacy and a step forward; thoughtful, ambitious, and unmistakably hers. The album also marks a step forward in the long-term collaboration between Nancy Ajram and Believe – with the album being released under Believe Artist Services, after more than 14 years of collaboration on distribution.
