In her own distinct style, artist Rahma Riad announced the release of a new Iraqi dialect song for her audience, titled "Weili".
Rahma Riad initially posted a video showcasing her in a charming, soft sky-blue dress against a scenic natural backdrop, captioning it simply: "Weili, today at 5:00."

She later posted another video featuring a snippet of the song, writing: "Weili is out now. Lyrics: Faqar Al-Majid, Composition: Qabas Youssef, Arrangement: Omar Sabbagh."
The song features romantic, lightweight lyrics:
“Oh my, the beauty of his eyes... I get lost without him,
And in his embrace I lose myself.
My day spent by his side, with all its meaningful moments,
Passes by so quickly.”
During the preceding period, Rahma Riad was active with a concert in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, performed at the Princess Nourah University theater after a four-year absence. The distinct Iraqi-themed night featured a setlist combining Iraqi music, her original works, and Khaleeji songs before a sold-out audience. Key performances included:
"Kalam Al-Hub", "Tala'a Min Bait Abuha", "Foq Al-Nakhal", "Weinak Habibi", "Illa Aqallalhum", "Hilw Hal Shou'or", "Saba' Sa'adat", "Wa'ad Minni Wa'ad", "Matar Matar", "Atahaddakum", "Mako Minni", "Sallamtak Bi Yed Allah", "Al-Kawkab", and "Ba'ad Al-Hub".
