"No One Like You" led off the singles from Blackout, Scorpions' eighth studio album, in 1982, and it's the German band's hard rock sound at its most streamlined. Rudolf Schenker wrote the music and Klaus Meine the words (the song started out in German, and much of its meaning shifted in translation), and Dieter Dierks produced and arranged it at his own Dierks Studios.

The guitars do the talking. Schenker and Matthias Jabs weave electric and acoustic parts, Jabs adds slide, and Francis Buchholz and Herman Rarebell keep the drive steady while Meine's voice climbs over the top. It became one of three hits from the album and went to number one on Billboard's rock tracks chart. The video, shot in San Francisco, used Alcatraz Island as a backdrop and staged Meine's execution, and a live version later heralded World Wide Live in 1984.
