Bahibbik Wahashteeny (I Love You, I Miss You) is the seventeenth full-length Arabic studio album from Egyptian pop singer Angham, launched in Egypt on 25 July 2005 (see 2005 in music) by Rotana Production Company.
"Bahibbik Wahashteeny" is perhaps the least sold record during Angham's entire singing career in the last 10 years, but improved its sale gradually upon the broadcast of its second single "Bahib Nafsi" (I Love Myself).
According to Angham, Bahibbik Wahashteeny is considered as the closest record to her heart because the lyrics summarized her attitude toward her life, her experiences and the way she perceives the people around her.
She referred to "Bahibbik Wahashteeny" in Maa Hobbi televised interview on Rotana channel as one of her closest albums, because it was the first to really begin to express her personality freely.
This record was born in a period where Angham is trying to balance between her new life as wife and mother on one hand, and a new version of her as a rejuvenated artist on the other.
The front CD cover created an aura of mystery around the record when it was promoted, because it partly hid Angham's face and raised curiosity.
On the same note, Angham released "Mitel elAwal" (Similar to the First) on the Internet, a Lebanese song that was due to be officially inserted in the record, but was deleted before printing.
The public exceeded 14000 in number,[1] but Angham's performance, which continued very late at night forced many to leave the concert an hour before its official closure.
[3] Angham also performed at Star Academy 4 where she sang "Sidi Wisalak" (Your Charm), "Bahibbik Wahashteeny", and "Baheb Nafsi".
The director was searching for something simple for this particular music video, content only to show Angham in daily life activities in her true face and colours.
It tackles a very simple scenario, featuring Angham wandering with a car driver through the streets of Lebanon to arrive at a private little concert.
Angham joined Rotana production company on 14 March 2004, after seven years of the contract's expiration following the release of "Bet'heb Meen" in 1999.
After the release of "Bahibbik Wahashteeny" music video, Angham gave birth to Abdel Rahman, her second son to join the family.
Because of her condition, Angham refused at the last minute to accept to star in a new movie called "Aan elAshk Wel Hawa" (About Love and Passion) alongside Mona Zaki and Ahmad Sakka.
On the second note, the Middle East press used "Bahibbik Wahashteeny"'s commercial failure to justify a rumour that Angham is very angry toward Rotana when the company refused to allow a big budget for her next music video with Nadine Labaki, topped with a negligection of her record's promotion.
