Like the debut album, only one music video was directed for her second album, Sheel Oyoonak Anni. Ajram generated much attention in 2003 following the release of the music video for "Akhasmak Ah", her third studio album Ya Salam's lead single, which was found controversial owing to the depiction of overtly sexual activities.^[2] However, she later received praise in mid-2003 for the visual for the album's second single and title track "Ya Salam", which received a Murex d'Or Award for its positive portrayal of a star with a sad life inspired from the 1960s. The video was directed by Nadine Labaki as a second collaboration with Ajram.^[3]

In 2008, Ajram released her sixth studio album Betfakkar Fi Eih, which spawned five music videos. The release of Ajram's seven album Nancy 7 (2010) was preceded by the music videos for its singles "Fi Hagat", "Sheikh El Shabab", which garnered her three awards, and "Ya Kether", which features Syrian actor Kosai Khauli as Ajram's lover.^[6] In 2012, Ajram released her second studio album for children Super Nancy, accompanied by a medley music video of same name, her daughters Mila and Ella were featured in the video.^[7] In 2014, Nancy 8's lead single video "Ma Tegi Hena" met with criticism and controversy for its sexual imagery, many critics compared it to her breakthrough hit, "Akhasmak Ah".^[8] However, Nancy 8 spawned another four music videos.
