Shams repeated her collaboration with director Jamil Jamil Al-Maghazi, as he directed her song 24 Hours, which she filmed as a video clip, in order to promote the album. She entered the world of sports songs dedicated to football fans with her song “Nasrawi Lataklamni” after the popularity of the “Leader Latakalni” tag, which was launched by the fans of the Saudi Al-Nasr Club at the end of 2013 , where she released her song on March 23, 2014, and achieved a quarter of a million within a week. Her song Nasrawi Latakalni was broadcast on Saudi TV, becoming the first female singer to have her voice appear on Channel One after more than thirty years of suspension.
