Scorpions saved their slow-dance weapon for Love at First Sting in 1984, and "Still Loving You" is the German hard rockers at their most shamelessly heartsick. Rudolf Schenker had pieces of the melody kicking around from about 1976, but Uli Jon Roth, then on lead guitar, waved it off as too commercial; only in 1983 did Schenker finish it and Klaus Meine give it words.

Meine sings about a love affair on the ropes, two people who can see the end coming and decide to give it one more go. Schenker and Matthias Jabs stack the guitars into a slow, aching climb, Francis Buchholz and Herman Rarebell hold the floor, and Dieter Dierks produced it with plenty of room to swell. Europe took it hardest, sending it into the top 5 in several countries, and the video was shot at Reunion Arena in Dallas.
