Ya Tabtab...Wa Dalla (Arabic: "يا طبطب ... ودلع") is Nancy Ajram's most anticipated album yet. Was announced to be released in October 2005, but then delayed to be released on the 15th of February, 2006. The album (according to retails) is the best seller album on the market. The album has not been produced by Megastar / Relax-In as usual. Instead, it was produced by a new music production company, owned by the known manager Jiji Lamara, named Art-Line Music. So far, the album has shipped over 5M copies.

Lead single/title track "Ya Tabtab Wa Dalla3" (I Pat & Spoil) was released on February 10th, peaking at #1 where it remained for 3 weeks. A very cute song where Nancy complains about her lover's immaturity. Its #1 spot was taken by the album's second single, Moegaba (Admirer). In the song, Nancy has a crush on someone, and she's too shy to tell him. The single was a major hit, especially in Egypt.

The third single is probably the most popular - you can practically say it is everyone's ringtone. Ana Yalli (I'm the One) is simply loved by EVERYONE! Moegaba 's video was a continuation for Nancy's fourth Coca-Cola commercial, and so was Ana Yalli 's for Nancy's first DAMAS Jewelery commercial (Farfasha Collection). The album's next video will be for Ehsas Jdeed (A New Feeling), which fans requested so much to be filmed as a video -- and which Nancy did. Nancy communicates with her deaf and mute lover in sign language in the video which is due to be released at the end of October. This song had tremendous success especially in Lebanon.

Next, Nancy will be surprising her Khaleeji (Gulf) fans with a video for a Khaleeji song Mishtaga Leik (I Miss You) which, not surprisingly, also had lots of requests, and is many people's favourite song in the album - not just the Khaleeji people!

Every song in the album is a great hit and they are all so loved. Which is why Nancy will be filming atleast 6 videos from this album (3 were released, and 4 were filmed).

Ashtiki Minno (Do I Complain About Him), another amazing fast-beat song. The song's unique, and different, style perfectly matches Nancy's and it clearly stands out. It was the song used for Nancy's 5th Coca-Cola Commercial. They show you in the commercial how the Coke bottle's hot curves match Nancy's!


"Ya Sissayyed" (Master!), with its magical Middle Eastern tunes, and its success in Egypt (even without being filmed), probably won't get the chance to be filmed. (She won't film every single song just because they all are amazing!). Yet it would be a great idea for a 6th Coke Commercial! (Hear that Nancy???)

Elli Kan is also incredibly loved. With its simple traditional Oud & Flute background music, the song was a huge success in Egypt. It's a very romantic song with Tarab style. It might be the last video from the album. If not for Elli Kan, the last video will be for "'Oul Hansaki" (Say "I Will Forget You"). A slow 6-minute long song with very sad and sincere feelings, where Nancy dares her tiresome inconsiderate love to say the words "I will forget you" (only one word in Arabic - Hansaki). Yet she advises him not to say it, and promises him that she will forget him before he even says it.
