Source-derived summary

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. It was her second record on the label after "Bet'heb Meen" (Who Do You Love) which was released in 1997. The 2005 record has witnessed a critical success but commercial disappointment. "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). However, despite the promotion and Angham's 2005 tour, the record had only a moderate success and Angham was unable to garner any hits from the album except "Albak" (Your Heart) and "Inta Meen" (Who Are You) which both caused a tremendous success around the Middle East and the Gulf countries, respectively. The record is available on both CD (57:44 minutes) and tape (50:38 minutes) format. The bonus track "Inta Meen" (Who Are You) and the remix of "Bahibbik Wahashteeny" are only featured on the CD version. In this record, Angham collaborated with many new faces. They include Hend elKady who worked with Angham for the first time as a music composer; her brother Khaled Suleiman and Ismael as new music arrangers; Ameer Teaima, Sultan Salah, Wissam Sabry, Khaled Abou elFateh and Fahd Thamal as the new lyricists.

Album information

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Bahibbik Wahashteeny” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Bahibbik, Wahashteeny and studio provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4842577. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2005 and 1997.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
