In 1995, at the age of twelve, Ajram took part in a variety show, ''[[Noujoum Al-Moustakbal]]'' (English: ''Stars of the Future'') on [[Future TV]], a Lebanese reality television competition, which finds new solo musical talent.

At the age of 13, Ajram released her debut single "Kel Ma B'ello B Albi El Gheere" in 1996, followed by "Oulha Kelma" one year later.<ref>{{cite web|title=بالفيديو.. نانسي عجرم من الطفولة الى النجومية!|url=http://www.lebanondebate.com/news/183263|website=Lebanon Debate|language=ar}}</ref> In 1998, she signed a recording contract with [[EMI]] and released her debut studio album ''[[Mihtagalak]]'', followed by ''[[Sheel Oyoonak Anni]]'' (2001).

=== 2002–2004: Breakthrough and new image ===

In early 2002, Ajram signed a contract with renowned Lebanese producer and artist manager Jiji Lamara, four months after his splitting with Aline Khalaf. They started working together in preparation for the third studio album shifting her musical style and image away from the decent girl.<ref>{{cite web|title=نانسي عجرم: أنا 'بنوتة بـ100 راجل' عند الضرورة|url=http://www.lahamag.com/article/5446-%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%B3%D9%8A_%D8%B9%D8%AC%D8%B1%D9%85%3A_%D8%A3%D9%86%D8%A7_%27%D8%A8%D9%86%D9%88%D8%AA%D8%A9_%D8%A8%D9%80100_%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%AC%D9%84%27_%D8%B9%D9%86%D8%AF_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B6%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%A9|website=Laha Magazine|language=ar|date=September 27, 2013}}</ref> Ajram's breakthrough single, "Akhasmak Ah", was released in December. The music video caused a controversy; reminiscent of older Arabic films, she appeared as a café manager who dances and flirts with its customers. It received criticism from various news publications, and it was meant to be banned on several Arabic televisions due to its sexually suggestive content. However, in early 2003, Ajram rose to fame, propelled by the success of the single, and the release of her third studio album, ''[[Ya Salam]]'' which was a best-seller.<ref>{{cite web|title=دفاعاً عن الفنانة نانسي عجرم|url=http://www.almustaqbal.com/v4/Article.aspx?Type=np&Articleid=13733|website=Al Mustaqbal|language=ar|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170908200706/http://www.almustaqbal.com/v4/Article.aspx?Type=np&Articleid=13733|archive-date=September 8, 2017}}</ref>

Her fourth album, ''[[Ah W Noss]]'', was released on April 14, 2004, and it was also an important marking point in Ajram's career. The tremendous success that ''Ah W Noss'' achieved, stabilized Ajram's position as an A-List star in the Arab music industry. Ajram then filmed "Lawn Ouyounak" (Color of Your Eyes), which portrayed Ajram as a bride in a traditional Lebanese wedding. After the release of the album, Ajram signed-up with [[Coca-Cola]] to be their official celebrity spokesperson for the Middle East and North Africa region. Her first Coke commercial featured her hit, "Oul Tani Keda?" (Say That Again?), which was filmed with the international Italian director Luca Tomassini. The commercial's success led to it being filmed as a music video behind the scenes of the commercial.<ref>{{cite web|title=نانسي وال'كوكا كولا'..!|url=http://www.farfesh.com/Display.asp?catID=159&mainCatID=158&sID=5084|website=Farfesh|language=ar}}</ref> The 4th hit single from the album, "Inta Eyh?" (What Are You?), was a slow composed by Samir Sfeir. [[Nadine Labaki]] directed another clip that featured Ajram as a wife who sees her husband cheating on her yet she hides it in torment to save their relationship. The music video received tremendous positive reviews and Ajram was greatly praised. Leading Egyptian actors and directors, like [[Faten Hamama]] praised Ajram's acting abilities and movie offers doubled for Ajram.<ref>{{cite web|title=نانسي عجرم – لا أرضى أن يخونني رجل أحبه|url=https://www.alarabiya.net/articles/2005/07/28/15364.html|publisher=Al Arabiya|language=ar|date=July 28, 2005}}</ref>

=== 2005–2007: ''Ya Tabtab...Wa Dallaa'' and ''Shakhbat Shakhabit'' ===

Her fifth album, ''[[Ya Tabtab...Wa Dallaa]]'' was released on February 21, 2006. ''Ya Tabtab'' was considered Ajram's best album back then, with six music videos released, eight radio hits, and five songs used for commercials.<ref>{{cite web|title=نانسي عجرم: لا أريد شهرة عالمية مقابل مبلغ مالي ادفعه..|url=http://www.farfesh.com/Display.asp?catID=159&mainCatID=158&sID=14460|website=Farfesh|language=ar}}</ref>
The title track's music video was Ajram's last collaboration with [[Nadine Labaki]], as she then started working on her movie [[Caramel (film)|Caramel]].<ref>{{cite web|title="سكّر بنات" عالم نسائي مبهج ومبسّط عائم فوق تناقضات مدينة ومجتمع|url=http://www.almustaqbal.com/v4/Article.aspx?Type=np&Articleid=245984|website=Al Mustaqbal|language=ar}}</ref> Ajram then released the video of her [[Coca-Cola]] hit "Moegaba" (Admirer), as well as a video and commercial for her newly signed Damas Jewellery contract advertising their "Farfasha" set.

The video, which was a salute from Said to his deaf and mute parents, depicted the story of a rich woman who falls in love with a deaf and mute man.<ref>{{cite web|title=سعيد الماروق: لغة الصم والبكم إحساس وليست إشارات|url=http://archive.aawsat.com/details.asp?issueno=9896&article=390236|website=Asharq Alawsat|language=ar}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=السر وراء كليب نانسي عجرم..

"El Donia Helwa", Ajram's seventh commercial, is considered one of her most successful commercials representing her style and [[Coca-Cola]]'s with colors, happiness, and music, and it led her to release a Live album featuring the single.<ref>{{cite web|title=نانسي عجرم تتفوق على كاظم الساهر|url=http://www.wen.co.il/%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%B3%D9%8A-%D8%B9%D8%AC%D8%B1%D9%85-%D8%AA%D8%AA%D9%81%D9%88%D9%82-%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%89-%D9%83%D8%A7%D8%B8%D9%85-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D8%A7%D9%87%D8%B1/2565.news|website=Wen|language=ar|access-date=September 10, 2017|archive-date=September 11, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170911024617/http://www.wen.co.il/%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%B3%D9%8A-%D8%B9%D8%AC%D8%B1%D9%85-%D8%AA%D8%AA%D9%81%D9%88%D9%82-%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%89-%D9%83%D8%A7%D8%B8%D9%85-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D8%A7%D9%87%D8%B1/2565.news|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Ajram's first album which was fully dedicated to children included a variety of songs aimed towards teaching children good values and morals, something she has wanted to do for a long time. The music video was her second cooperation with Said El Marouk and featured four songs from her album, the most successful of which were "Shakhbat Shakhabit" & "Shater Shater".<ref>{{cite web|title=نانسي عجرم "شخبط شخابيط" مهرجان للأطفال|url=http://www.alriyadh.com/257473|website=Al Riyadh|language=ar}}</ref> Ajram performed these songs at several fund-raising events for children and other children's events, such as the children's TV channel [[MBC 3 (Middle East)|MBC3]], and the children's entertainment TV Show "Star Zghar".<ref>{{cite news|title=mbc3 تحتفل بانطلاقتها الثالثة بحضور الأطفال ونانسي عجرم|url=http://www.alriyadh.com/301617|newspaper=جريدة الرياض|language=ar}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=نانسي عجرم "معجبة" بمواهب "ستار صغار"|url=http://elaph.com/Web/Music/2009/12/512950.htm|website=Elaph|date=December 14, 2009 |language=ar}}</ref> She then filmed with Fadi Haddad, the director of photography of her previous works with El Marouk, a video for the song "Risala Lil Aalam" (A Message to the World) which talks about world peace. The video was released on May 25, 2008, the day the Lebanese president General Michel Suleiman was elected ending a deadlock that lasted since November. It was the first video for Ajram that had an entirely graphical world that implied the suffering of children worldwide and the need to bring out a more colorful and happy world for them. Old rumors claimed that the video was presented to the [[UNICEF]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://vimeo.com/72256005|title=Rissal ila al A'alam (Nancy Ajram video Clip)|date=August 13, 2013 |via=vimeo.com}}</ref>

On September 28, 2009, ''[[The Oprah Winfrey Show]]'' aired an episode titled "Fame Around the World" that talked about the most famous celebrities around the globe in brief reports. Representing the Middle East region and Arab world, Ajram appeared in a report featured on the show and was described by Oprah as "the [[Britney Spears]] of the Middle East". Ajram is the first and only Middle-Eastern artist ever mentioned on the show.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://waleg.com/archives/017549.html|title=The Real Deal About Nancy on Oprah|website=Waleg|access-date=September 10, 2017|archive-date=September 2, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090902020319/http://waleg.com/archives/017549.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In the summer of 2010, Ajram was nominated by [[Coca-Cola]] the Middle East to sing, along with [[K'naan]], his international hit and song for the [[2010 FIFA World Cup]], "[[Wavin' Flag]]". The Arabic version, titled "Shaggaa Be Alamak" and directed to the Middle East region, had its Arabic parts written by Ayman Bahgat Amar (who previously wrote Ah W Noss, Ya Tabtab and Eftah Albak for Ajram) and the music remastered by Tarek Madkour. The original music video was used for [[K'naan]]'s parts while Ajram's parts were filmed separately in Lebanon on the same protocol under [[Leila Kanaan]]'s co-direction. Both the video and song were aired heavily during the FIFA season and part of the song was particularly played during commercial breaks on [[Al Jazeera Media Network|Al Jazeera]] channel, which exclusively aired the games to the Arab world. One month later, Ajram filmed a commercial for her newly signed contract with [[Lactalis]] advertising their [[Lactel]] yoghurt.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.musicnation.me/news/%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%B3%D9%8A-%D8%B9%D8%AC%D8%B1%D9%85-%D9%88%D8%AC%D9%87-%D8%A7%D8%B9%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%8A-%D9%84%D8%B4%D8%B1%D9%83%D8%A9-%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D9%85%D8%B1%D8%A9/|title=نانسي عجرم وجه اعلاني لشركة عالمية مرة جديدة|access-date=September 27, 2017}}</ref>
