"Still Loving You" is a power ballad by Scorpions from their 1984 album Love at First Sting. It was the second, and last, single of the album, reaching #64 on Billboard Hot 100. It is considered to be one of the greatest songs of the band which became an international rock anthem (listed #22 on VH1's list of the 25 Greatest Power Ballads). In France alone, the single sold 1.7 million copies. The song unleashed a wave of hysteria among French fans not seen since the Beatles and became the Scorpions’ musical trademark around the globe.
The song is about winning back the love of an unnamed person. The singer claims "I'm still loving you" and promises to do whatever is necessary win back this person's love.
