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".[6]
The music video was released on 3 July 1984,[7] and was filmed in Dallas, Texas, at Reunion Arena.[citation needed]
The song can be heard in the police procedural television series Cold Case, in the episode "It's Raining Men" (2004). "Still Loving You" is also featured in the television show Patinando por un sueño and Polish comedy film Gotowi na wszystko. Exterminator (2018).
