On August 19, the Lebanese artist announced that she will be quitting the music industry and compared it to “mafia”.

“I am preparing this new album with a lot of love and passion. The reason is that it will be the last one in my career.

In the new album, she cooperates with a large number of poets and composers she previously worked with, including Amir Teima, Nader Abdallah, and Walid Said.
