In 1999 Neja releases "The Game", the winning track from A Song For The Summer. That same whirlwind year she performs it on the popular Italian music show Festivalbar and flies to Japan to promote the single. The Game also becomes the title of her first album, whose ten tracks let Neja expand her repertoire to include pop music Fairytale and Mum’s Day.
But The Game doesn’t say goodbye to dance music: January 2000 sees a dance remix of Fairytale circulating around Europe. She travels to Germany to shoot a video to be distributed by Universal. Later that summer Neja releases the new single Singin Nanana and appears a second time on Festivalbar.
In 2001 Neja releases Time Flies and Back 4 The Morning, the latter of which launches her for the first time into American consciousness. She flies to New York, Boston, and San Antonio for successful performances.
In 2002 Neja signs with Universal to sharpen her focus on pop music. Looking For Something is the summer hit that brings her for a third time to Festivalbar and opens the way to her second album Hot Stuff, including the single To The Music.
From 2003 to 2005, Neja performs for her devoted fans in Italy and other parts of Europe, as well as in India as a representative of an Italian clothing company.
In 2005 she signs with the label Melodica which releases her 11th single "Who’s gonna be?", a pop-ish song with several remixes (raggae, dance, rock...) and a video.
In 2007 with a new team production composed by Ivan Russo (Atollo records) and the french dj Benjamin Braxton (Sound4label) Neja returns to the dance music with the new single Catwalk, released at first in France. She’s now writing her third album.
2008 is the year of sperimentation for her, she returns to her old "root": jazz , recording Acousticlub, an album of cover hits rearranged in an acoustic, jazzy way (as Sweet dreams, Papa don't preach, man in the mirror, hit me baby one more time...) and a new version of her songs (Destiny and The game). She likes this project so much that she records another album of this kind called 133 Sushiclub in collaboration with two excellent musicians (guitarist cristian Montgnani and Bass player Larry Mancini).
2009 is dedicated to dance music again... Loving you is the new single in collaboration with two deejays from Turin, Peter Damir and Gianluca Argante. The song is in promotion in Uk and rising the club charts...
Mum's Day
Neja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone to lose my brain or give my heart for
Someone else to hurt
Give me a reason for me to try
I've better things to do than become a wife
To be satisfield
It's an illusion,a delusionYOU CAN'T HIDE , NO YOU CAN'T DENY
WE'VE GOT ALL THE TIME OF THE WORLD
WE'VE GOT ALL THE TIME OF WORLD
YOU CAN'T HIDE YOU CAN'T HIDE
I'M NOT SCARED TO BE ALONE,nooooooooYou said that love's connected with sacrifice
I think I couldn't stand this for all my life
It's not very nice
Give me a reason for me to try
You seemed to be unhappy most of the time
I've seen it in your eyes
It's an illusion,a delusion
Neja's song Mum's Day revolves around the theme of love and relationships, particularly the message that women should not settle for a life of unhappiness or sacrifice in their relationships. In the first verse, Neja pleads for a reason to love and sacrifices, someone worth giving her heart to, but she is not willing to become a wife just to be satisfied. She implies that it's an illusion to think that a woman should settle for a life of sacrifice and neglect her needs in a relationship.
In the chorus, Neja declares confidently that nobody can hide from the truth, and they have all the time in the world to live their lives on their terms. She reiterates that she's not afraid to be alone, indicating that she values her independence and will not compromise her happiness for the sake of a relationship.
The second verse continues to challenge the traditional perception of love and relationships, rejecting the notion that love is connected to sacrifice. Neja admits that she couldn't stand this way of life, and she wishes for a reason to try and find happiness in a relationship, but not at the cost of her own well-being. She finishes the song by calling attention to the fact that sacrificing for a relationship is not a noble act; it's an illusion, a delusion.
Overall, Neja's Mum's Day is a powerful anthem about the importance of self-love and the need for healthy, fulfilling, and balanced relationships that embrace mutual respect, independence, and happiness.

Legal esse diálogo no início da música. Tentei traduzi-lo para o Português. Alguém poderia revisá-lo?
[Filha] - Ei mamãe! Feliz Dia das Mães!
Eu queria poder te dar o mundo! O que você gostaria?
[Mãe] - Querida, você é meu mundo!
Eu te amo!
Quando eu tive você, foi um o dia mais feliz de toda a minha vida.
Tudo o que eu desejo agora, querida, é que você seja feliz!
( ? )
Encontre um bom homem!
[Filha] - Mamãe?!
[Mãe] - Case-se antes que seja tarde demais!
( ? )
[Filha] - Mãe?!
[Filha] - Tudo bem, ouça:

Me dê uma razão para amar
Alguém para perder a cabeça e dar o meu coração
Alguém pra machucar também
Me dê uma razão para tentar
Eu tenho coisas melhores para fazer do que ser uma esposa
Para ser satisfeita
É uma ilusão, uma desilusão, você não pode esconder, não, você não pode negar
Nós temos todo o tempo do mundo
E você não pode esconder, não, você não pode negar
Nós temos todo o tempo todo mundo
Você não pode esconder, você não pode esconder
Não estou com medo de ficar sozinha, não, você disse que o amor tem ligação com o sacrifício
Eu acho que não poderia enfrentar isso por toda a minha vida
Não é muito legal
Me dê uma razão para tentar
Você parecia infeliz a maior parte do tempo
Eu vi nos seus olhos
É uma ilusão, uma desilusão
