The band was originally centered around Sabrina Ziegler, the daughter of the former member of popular east German band Wir and later solo artist, Wolfgang Ziegler.

Ziegler shared the vocal duties with Marleen Heitzmann, while the two remaining band members were in and out on revolving door basis, mostly singing backing vocals and dancing.

The original Samajona, hence its name, composed of Ziegler, Heitzmann, Johanna „Joe“ Klum and Nadja Loddoch, thus taking its name from the band members' initials. Their first single, Warum?was released in the summer of 2001 and sold over 100 000 copies. The follow-up, Wird es heute passieren?, was known for its energetic dance routine and the third single, So Schwer was the last to be released from the debut album Crème Frech. The band won the Goldene Stimmgabel in 2002.

For the second album, Klum and Loddoch left the band and two new members, Mariangela „Marie“ Scelsi and miss Germany contestant Kirsten „Kirsty“ Merz replaced them. The album Spurwechsel was promoted with a somewhat racy and provocative image compared to Creme Frech and three singles were released - Sag es, The Car U Wanna Drive and Miss You. WIth Sag Es, Samajona got into the German top 20 for the first and only time. Its English version, Listen to Me, featured lyrics written by Christina Milian.

After Spurwechsel, Scelsi and Merz left the band, soon followed by Heitzman. Ziegler was accompanied by new members - Claudia „Claudi“ Uterhardt, Julia „Jule“ Titze and the new co-lead vocalist, J.-Ann „Jenny“ Wilson. However, this line-up did not produce any singles and the band split sometime in 2004.

Nowadays, Sabrina Ziegler has released a single with her father, after having worked as a TV reader and a chroreographer. Mariangela Scelsi is an actress and Johanna Klum is a TV-host.

Take Me Away
Samajona Lyrics

Worte klingen in meiner Erinnerung
weiß noch genau,
wie du zu mir sprachst.
Liege im Bett
bin viel zu früh aufgewacht!
kann sie noch hören,
wie du Sie sagst
und ich schließ ganz fest meine Augen

seh‘ dein Gesicht noch vor mir ganz genau
ich versuche weiter zu schlafen
doch mir wird klar,
das ich’s nicht mehr kann
liegt’s an dem Kuss,
den du mir noch gestern gabt’s? oooh
muss ich noch zweifeln,
oder ist es schon war?
Refrain
take me away!
Auf Wolke sieben
ich hab die Nacht von dir geträumt
Take me away!
Als ob ich fliege!
Take me away!
Zu dir heut‘ Nacht!
Take me away!
Auf Wolke sieben!
Ich hab die Nacht von dir geträumt!
Take me away! Take me away!
Take me away zu dir heut‘ Nacht!
Es ist schon verrückt!
Es ist ziemlich abgedreht!
Mach‘ mir ‘nen Kopf,
ob ich’s dir nun sag
es kribbelt im Bauch,
bin wahnsinnig aufgeregt
hab ich verliebt,
die Gefühle sind wach
liegt’s an dem Kuss,
den du mir noch gestern gabst? oohh
muss ich noch zweifeln,
oder ist es schon wahr?
Refrain
Wie soll ich es dir sagen?
Wirst du mich verstehn?
Fängst du dann an zu lachen
oder wirst du es schon raffen?

Kann ich dir einfach alles gestehen?
Refrain
