Ayshalak (ar|عايشالك) (English: I Live for You) is the third studio album by Lebanese singer Elissa released by Music Master on 14 June 2002.[1] The album was well received by the public and critics, and achieved great commercial success with sales of 2.95 million copies in 2002.[2] It ranked first in terms of sales in the Arab world upon its release,[3] and remained number one on the charts for six months until mid-December 2002, when it was displaced by Ragheb Alama's album Tab Leh and dropped to second place.[4] Many of the album's songs were translated into songs in other languages, including the titular song "Ayshalak" that was covered in Serbian,[5] Turkish,[6] and Russian.[7] The song "Ajmal Ihssas" has been covered four times by different Turkish artists, including Ferhat Göçer,[8] Firdevs,[9],[10] and Sinan Akçıl.[11]

The music video for "Ayshalak" was filmed in Paris under the direction of director Fabrice Bigotti,[12] which made Elissa the first Arab artist to officially appear in a dress specially designed for her by the fashion house Dior.[13] In September 2002, Elissa received the award for Best Female Singer from the Murex d'Or,[14] and her music video "Ajmal Ihssas" won the Best Music Video Award at the Dubai Music Festival.[15]
