Diab had promoted days ago for the new single on social media, which marks the fourth single from his forthcoming album “Ana Gheir”, following “Youm Talat”, “Bahebo,” and “Ana Gheir.”

In this new album — produced by Nay production Company— Diab cooperated with a prominent group of songwriters and prominent composers including, Hamid El Shaeri, Ahmed Al-Malki, Mohamed Rahim, Saber Kamal, Amir Teima, and Islam Zaki.

He had cooperated with poets Ahmed Marzouk and Mohamed Al-Qayati for the first time.

The 57-year-old megastar had launched last year his latest released album “Kol Hayaty”, which featured 13 songs.

Moreover, Diab is preparing to drop a new track called “Awal Youm fi El Baad”, which is written by Ahmed Al Malki and composed by Mohamadi.

He also cooperated with poet Ahmed Marzouk for the first time.

On the other hand, the megastar performed Thursday evening a private concert live in El Gouna resort town in the Red Sea government, amid the attendance of celebrities.

The concert comes in conjunction with the third edition of El Gouna Film Festival (GFF), which is scheduled to conclude this evening.

In 2018, Diab had released his latest album “Kol Hayaty” , which features 13 songs.

Diab, born on October 11, 1961, is an Egyptian multi-award-winning pop singer-songwriter.

He has created his own style, which is often termed “Mediterranean Music”, a blend of Western and Egyptian rhythms.

The 57-year-old became the first Arabic artist to start making high-tech music videos by 1992.

Diab’s fame in the entertainment industry has led him to experiment with other forms of media, such as film-making.

Amr co-starred in three films “El Afareet”, “Ice Cream in Gleam”, and “Dahk Wa Laab”.

He co-starred as himself in his first film, “El Afareet” — released in 1989 — with prominent Egyptian actress, Madiha Kamel.

In 1992, he starred in his second film “Ice Cream in Gleam”, which was chosen as one of the best five Egyptian musical films by the “UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television”.

Diab’s third film “Dahk Wa Laab” came out in 1993, co-starring international Egyptian star Omar Sharif and prominent Egyptian actress Yousra.

Despite the films’ success, Diab did not experience the same level of success in acting as he had with his music.

He has focused on his singing career since 1993.
