"Hit Between the Eyes" comes from Crazy World, the Scorpions' 11th studio album, released in November 1990. Rudolf Schenker wrote the music, and the words came from Klaus Meine, Herman Rarebell and Jim Vallance. Keith Olsen produced it with the band and mixed it with Erwin Musper and Shay Baby; it was the band's first record without Dieter Dierks in the producer's chair since Fly to the Rainbow in 1974.
Meine sings lead, Schenker and Matthias Jabs both play electric guitar, with Jabs adding slide and Schenker acoustic, Francis Buchholz is on bass and Rarebell on drums and percussion, and all five pile onto the backing vocals. Crazy World was the last studio album for that Lovedrive-era lineup, and this song found a second home in the 1992 film Freejack, playing as the end credits rolled.
