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...
Restless
Neja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking all that you did is gone
But, baby, I can't forgive you
So you'd better go,
Walk out the door
I see you here again
And you say
That your love is true...boy
So you'd better go
Nefore I fall (in love)
I don't know why
We're so restless
I know, you know, it's true (3X)
I don't know why
We're so restless
I don't know why
You feel so strong
Sometimes I feel so bad
'Cause I think that
You'll never change, oh oh
Can you promise
That you won't hurt me anymore
No anymore
You'd better ask yourself
What's the thing
That you're looking for...but
You can't find all the answers
In another girl
Another love...
The lyrics to Neja's song "Restless" feature a narrator who has been hurt and betrayed by a former lover who has now returned, seeking forgiveness and professing their love. However, the singer is unwilling to forgive them and tells them to leave. The singer is also grappling with the restlessness and uncertainty that comes with love and relationships. The lyrics suggest that the singer's former lover has a history of hurting them and that they struggle with the idea of trusting them again. The singer urges their former lover to examine their own motives and desires before seeking love and validation from another person.
The song's chorus emphasizes the feeling of restlessness and confusion that comes with love. The repetition of the phrase "I don't know why we're so restless" suggests a kind of existential frustration with the inability to understand the complexities of love and relationships. The lyrics also touch on feelings of insecurity and fear of being hurt again, as the singer asks their former lover to promise not to hurt them anymore. The song's overall message seems to be about the struggle to find love and trust in a world where relationships are often fraught with pain and uncertainty.

In 1999 me and my beautiful and gorgeous wife Adriana, met Neja backstage at the Dance Event in Kolding Denmark. This was one of Adrianas favorite songs. Back in june 2017 some few hours before she passed away (We lost her to breast cancer) I played her this song, and she lit up for a moment. Adriana this is to you, you wonderfull, beautifull, smiling, playful, joyous, super feminine, happy squirrel, the most beautiful woman I ever known... may you forever be happy and in peace, surrounded by the most glorious of angels, you beautiful beautiful soul.... at her furneral more than 1500 people attended, and the pastor told us, that normally we ask why God call home such an extraordinary woman at such a young age, but today God ask us if we were happy for the 48 years he gave us one of his most beautiful beings, to which the crowd responded with cheers... instead of 1 minute of silence that pastor ask us to give 1 minute of applause.... this is to you, Ardilla!!!!
