"Still Loving You" is a song by the German hard rock band Scorpions. A power ballad, it was released in June 1984 as the second single from their ninth studio album, Love at First Sting.[6] The song reached number 64 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was most successful in Europe, reaching the top 5 in several countries.
Rudolf Schenker already composed parts of the melody around 1976, but the lead guitarist at the time, Uli Jon Roth, rejected the song as too commercial. It was not until 1983 that the composition was completed and singer Klaus Meine added the lyrics. In an interview with Songfacts, Schenker explained: "It's a story about a love affair, where they recognized it may be over - but let's try again".[7]

The music video was released on 3 July 1984,[8] and was filmed in Dallas, Texas, at Reunion Arena.[citation needed]
