The project features collaborations with some of the Arab music industry's leading lyricists, composers and producers.

The title track, De Rouhy (It's My Soul), was written by Tamer Hussein, composed by Aziz El-Shafie, arranged by Sherif Makawy, and mixed and mastered by Amir Mahrous.

The second song, Bo'dak Wagaa (Your Distance Hurts), features lyrics by Aleem, music by Ehab Abdel Wahed, and a musical vision by Angham.

The third track, Mohaserni (Surrounding Me), was written and composed by Aziz El Shafie, with arrangement by Sherif Makawy and mixing and mastering by Khaled Sanad.

The fourth song, Mosafera Baeed (Travelling Far Away), features lyrics by Mahmoud Essam Hamza, music by Aziz El Shafie, arrangement by Tarek Madkour, and mixing and mastering by Khaled Sanad.

The four-track release marks Angham's latest project and continues her exploration of contemporary Arabic pop rooted in emotionally driven ballads.

While each song features a different lyrical perspective, the EP is unified by polished production and a focus on expressive vocal performances, elements that have defined Angham's career for more than three decades.
