Leading artists from across the Arab world have come together on Anghami to release Aktar Men Ayya Waqt (More Than Ever), a timely track reflecting a shared moment of emotion, connection, and resilience across the region.
Launching on Anghami, the track brings together voices from across the Middle East, featuring AbdulAziz Louis, Aseel Hameem, Bader AlShuaibi, Ghaliaa, Jaber Al Turki, Salim Assaf, and Sultan Khalifa – representing a diverse mix of generations, styles and geographies across the Arab world.
Enabled by Anghami, the track was recorded across multiple locations, with the the collaboration was driven directly by the artists themselves. The song, written in Levantine and Khaleeji dialects, blends different musical styles and expressions, reflecting the richness and diversity of the region, while carrying a unified message of empathy, resilience, and shared experience.
The project aims to highlight Anghami’s role in connecting artists across borders and facilitating creative collaboration at scale, particularly during moments that call for collective expression.
“Aktar Men Ayya Waqt is a reminder of what music can do so naturally – bring people together, carry emotion and create a sense of closeness across borders,” said Eddy Maroun, Co-Founder of Anghami.
“What makes this project so powerful is that it came directly from the artists, driven by a shared desire to express something real,” he added.
The accompanying video brings together artist performances with scenes inspired by everyday life across the region, capturing a sense of closeness, familiarity, and shared human experience. The release builds on Anghami’s long-standing belief in music as a powerful connector, especially during defining moments that resonate across borders.
Echoing this sentiment, Lebanese singer-songwriter and composer Salim Assaf explained that the reason the artists came together for the track is because, “in this moment, music is not just art – it is connection, memory, and hope.”
From its multi-artist collaboration to its cross-regional production, Aktar Men Ayya Waqt stands as a reflection of different voices and perspectives, coming together through music.
