"Nessaja" is a song written by Peter Maffay and Rolf Zuckowski from the musical Tabaluga. Performed by Maffay, it was included on the 1983 album Tabaluga oder die Reise zur Vernunft and was released as a single the same year. German band Scooter later released a version on 8 April 2002. It appears as a bonus track on the group's first live album, Encore: Live and Direct, and was the first Scooter single to feature newest member at that time Jay Frog. The pitch shifted female vocals are performed by Nicole Sukar. "Nessaja" became Scooter's first and only number-one single in Germany and reached number two in Austria, Norway, and Romania. In the United Kingdom, the song peaked at number four on the UK Singles Chart.
