- "Akhasmak Ah" (translated "I will taunt you") has a provocative music video reminiscent of older Arabic films. It features the singer as a cafe manager who dances for and flirts with her dominantly-male clientele.
- "Ya Salam" (translated "How wonderful") features Nancy as a cabaret singer/performer. Starts with the last seconds of her singing "Akhasmak Ah" continuing with the song Ya Salam. Although the chorus sings about how beautiful love is this is not an entirely happy song.
- "Yay" (Sehr Eiono) ("Oh, the Magic of his Eyes") is a mini-drama with Ajram discovering romance as a demure Beirut hairdresser.
