Einek Kaddabeen is the tenth studio album by Lebanese recording artist Nawal Al Zoghbi, released on May 22, 2004 worldwide.
The album marks a shift in Nawal's career as the singer leaves Rotana, after many issues with distribution and release, and joins Alam Al Phan for a ten-year contract. However, Nawal left the label four years later due to numerous conflicts with Mohsen Jaber, the founder of Alam Al Phan.
With many issues accompanying its release, Einek Kaddabeen spawned only two singles, both reaching number one around the Arab World. The title track served as the lead single and was followed by a controversial release of the album's fourth track, "Bi Enak," the video of which was directed by Nadine Labaki, along with many rumors that ended up with Nawal deciding to take a break from music and head back to studio to record a new album, leaving many popular tracks from the album unreleased. However, TV channels like Mazzika and Melody Group aired live performances of tracks including "Malleit" and "Tegma'na Essaat."
This video shows a woman who suspects her bodyguard likes her, but he doesn't show his feelings to her. They share many moments in which her suspicions are confirmed. They get ready to go to a party, and when Nawal goes to his room to call him, he is not there, yet she discovers that he loves her so much that he has many photos of her. She exits the room, leaving her watch on a table. When he later enters his room, he notices the watch and decides to find Nawal and return her watch to her. He goes to the party and tries to find her amongst all the people. In the end, the couple are united on a terrace where he returns to her watch.
Bieinak (You Wish! ) video was Nawal singing on stage in front of her fans at a concert with a Japanese back up dancers in a Japanese style. This video was different, in that members of Nawal's fan club were used in the shooting of this video. This was Nawal's first music video with Nadin Labak and it was one of the best music videos in Arab world in 2004.
