On 29 May 2009, Nawal Al Zoghbi released the single, Mona Ainah, which is in the Khaliji dialect. It began airing on radio stations in the Middle East, and was performed first time on the programme Star Academy 6, on the same day. After much problems with Rotana not wanting to air it, "Mona Ainah" was then released by Melody in October 2009, as a music video directed by Yehya Saade. Al Zoghbi spent her own money to make the video. Nawal left Rotana in October 2009, and signed on with Melody who will produce her next album. The Music Video won an appreciation award in Hopenhagen - Global Warming Conference that was held in Copenhagen as the video clip was a demonstration of how mother earth (incarnated by Nawal in the video) is being polluted and by the end of the video clip this message was written "Earth is calling...listen!".
