An international star praises Nancy Ajram…and this is how the latter responded (photo)

During an interview with “Elle” magazine, Eilish reviewed her sources of inspiration while preparing the song “Wildflower,” which was released on the album “Hit Me Hard and Soft” in 2024, noting that the melodies she adopted in the work had a different character inspired by her experiences with Arabic music.

She added that she was initially hesitant about the audience’s acceptance of this style, but she felt from the first moment that it added a clear distinction to the work.

She added that her connection to this type of music is partly due to her relationship with her father, as they shared a common interest in listening to Arabic songs. What a profound influence on her artistic career.

When speaking about the most prominent Arab artists whose work she follows, Billie Eilish singled out Nancy Ajram for praise, stressing that she is among the voices she prefers to listen to.

On the other hand, Nancy Ajram responded to this praise via her “X” account, expressing her great appreciation, stressing that Eilish’s talent inspires a wide audience around the world, sending her a message of love and support.

It is noteworthy that in February 2026, Eilish won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year for Wildflower, after she had the opportunity to compete following its release as a single in 2025, despite its first appearance on her album released in 2024.
