Some netizens associate Ya Tabtab as a religious song because it is in Arabic. Meanwhile, other netizens think this song is not appropriate to be sung in Ramadan events.

If interpreted by each verse, the song Ya Tabtab tells the story of a woman who is upset with her lover because she often disagrees. However, the woman cannot break the relationship out of love.

The meaning of the song Ya Tabtab is as follows:

I comforted and spoiled her She said I had changed I was pissed off and furious, all she cared about was her own pleasure

Go and tell me I'm not always cheerful Sometimes I'm angry and sometimes I'm ready to give her full attention Who can endure this kind of condition It makes me sick and upset

If I get pissed off, I miss something she says I ignore her feelings and she starts blaming if I explain to her she'll say I'm unfair to her she keeps making me blame myself

He accuses me of changing and acting like a child my heart is confused with himbut I really love him, love dies with him that's why I stay patient with him longer
