While studying at the Lebanese University, Rahbani was casting for a production of Romeo and Juliet and sought actors who could sing and dance. Upon learning of Karam's talents, he encouraged her to audition for the reality show, though she initially resisted due to her unfamiliarity with Arabic music.{{Sfn|Tueini|2025|loc=16:49–18:41}}
