Fez – Egyptian entertainer Mohamed Ramadan is set to return to the spotlight with a new song called “I Don’t Know.” The track features Moroccan-American artist ILYAH. It comes just days after Ramadan entered a period of mourning for his late father.
The collaboration is his first major musical release since this loss. That timing gives the project a distinctly personal undertone.
According to statements on his official social media pages, Ramadan finished recording the song nearly two months ago.
He also shot the music video during a stay in the United States. The track had originally been scheduled for release last week.
The death of his father, however, led him to delay the launch. The song is now expected to be unveiled on Wednesday.
Ramadan has described the single as more than a routine musical experiment. He calls it an “amanah” (“a trust”) from his late father. The main lyrical lines draw on advice and life lessons from his father throughout his childhood.
Those personal themes give the project a special emotional weight. They also set it apart from the high-energy, swagger-filled tracks that built his fame.
The duet with ILYAH began with a meeting at New York Fashion Week. The artists first crossed paths during the event. A casual encounter soon turned into a creative conversation. Both sides agreed to develop a joint project.
The song was reportedly written and recorded in a single studio session. That speed reflects strong artistic chemistry. It also shows a shared desire to craft a track with a cross-cultural flavor.
Musically, the song is expected to open on a calm, reflective note. It then shifts into a faster, danceable main section. This progression gives it a hybrid identity.
The track mixes softness with bold, rhythmic energy. It functions as both a personal tribute and a commercial release. The structure targets a wide audience in the region and beyond.
In this project, Ramadan keeps his trademark showmanship. He also maintains his flair for striking visuals. At the same time, he leans further into vulnerability and emotion. ILYAH brings a different layer to the mix.
His style blends Moroccan roots with American influences. That combination adds a global touch to the performance and vocal delivery. It places the track firmly in a contemporary international pop space.
Industry observers expect the duet to draw significant attention. The release will build on Ramadan’s vast fan base across the Arab world. It will also benefit from ILYAH’s growing popularity in Morocco and the United States.
For fans, the song is a promising hit. It also offers a more introspective look at Ramadan’s life and emotions. This makes it a standout moment for one of the region’s most talked-about performers.
