Diana has chose Dubai and Egypt as the locations for shooting her music videos. The singer stressed that she has no worries regarding her return after being away for so long, for she always made it a point to only present high quality music to her fans. She added that she is not afraid of any of the new faces in the music industry for the mere fact that each singer has his/her own style in music.
