Jana Diab Steps Into Her Own With “Oh My!”

For a while now, we’ve been watching Jana Diab move through the music scene, and with the release of Oh My!, she officially steps forward on her own terms.

The Afropop-inspired track marks a clear milestone in Jana’s career. It’s her first solo single to fully blend English and Arabic in the same song, and it feels intentional rather than experimental for the sake of it. It reflects who she actually is: bicultural, globally influenced, and grounded in Arab sound.

Behind the track are two heavyweight names from the region, with lyrics by Tamer Hussien and composition by Amr Moustafa. The result is upbeat, polished, and easy to listen to, the kind of song that fits just as naturally into summer playlists as it does late-night drives.

In the lead-up to the release, Jana shared studio moments and teasers across her socials, giving people a look into the process instead of simply dropping the finished product. It felt natural and very Gen Z, more about bringing people along than presenting something overly curated.

Her father, Amr Diab, also publicly showed his support, a moment that highlighted both pride and trust in her direction. It was a reminder that while Jana comes from legacy, she is clearly carving her own path.

This is not her first introduction to a wider audience. Jana previously appeared on Amr Diab’s 2025 album Ebtadena, featuring on the summer hit Khatfoony. The track became one of the season’s defining releases and introduced her voice to a much larger audience, signaling early on that she was more than just a feature.

Still, “Oh My!” feels different. This is not a collaboration moment. This is Jana on her own.

What makes her interesting is not just who her father is. It is how easily she moves between cultures, languages, and sounds. Her music does not try to choose one identity over another, and that feels very now. It reflects a generation that sees culture as layered rather than fixed.

At JDEED, we’re drawn to artists who don’t feel rushed or overproduced, who let things unfold naturally and build their story step by step. Jana Diab feels like one of those names. “Oh My!” is not about proving anything. It is simply the start of her building something that belongs to her.
