Since the band's inception, its musical style has ranged from hard rock, heavy metal and glam metal to soft rock. The lineup from 1978 to 1992 was the most successful incarnation of the group, and included Klaus Meine (vocals), Rudolf Schenker (rhythm guitar), Matthias Jabs (lead guitar), Francis Buchholz (bass), and Herman Rarebell (drums). The band's only continuous member has been Schenker, although Meine has appeared on all of Scorpions' studio albums, while Jabs has been a consistent member since 1978, and bassist Paweł Mąciwoda and drummer Mikkey Dee have been in the band since 2003 and 2016 respectively.

During the mid-1970s, with guitarist Uli Jon Roth (who replaced Schenker's younger brother Michael) part of the lineup, the music of the Scorpions was defined as hard rock. After Roth's departure in 1978, Schenker and Meine took control of the group, giving them almost all the power to compose music and write lyrics. Matthias Jabs joined in 1978, and with the melodic rock he played and the influence of producer Dieter Dierks in the band, the Scorpions changed their sound to melodic heavy metal mixed with lyrical "power rock ballads", which is evident in the album Lovedrive (1979), which began the evolution of the band's sound, with recording a developed later in several of their albums. Michael Schenker also played on the Lovedrive album. Over the next decade, the band achieved influence, approval from music critics, and significant commercial success with the albums Animal Magnetism (1980), Blackout (1982), Love at First Sting (1984), the live recording World Wide Live (1985), Savage Amusement (1988), their best-selling compilation Best of Rockers 'n' Ballads (1989), and Crazy World (1990), all awarded at least one platinum award in the United States. The band has released thirteen consecutive studio albums that were in the top 10 in Germany, one of which reached No. 1, as well as three consecutive albums that were in the top 10 in the Billboard 200 in the United States. Their latest studio album, Rock Believer, was released in February 2022.

Scorpions are estimated to have sold over 100 million records around the world, making them one of the best-selling hard rock and heavy metal bands. One of their most recognized hits is "Wind of Change" (from Crazy World), a symbolic anthem of the political changes in Eastern Europe in the late 1980s and early 1990s and the fall of the Berlin Wall, and it remains as one of the best-selling singles in the world with over 14 million copies. Two of the songs on their ninth studio album Love at First Sting, "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and "Still Loving You", are regarded as some of the most influential and popular works, both in heavy metal music and among rock ballads, defined as "rock anthem" and "a true hymn of love".

It All Depends
Scorpions Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah!

Takes my dinner
Drinks my beer
Spends my money
But I don't care

She's my love

She's my dear
Love is here
I was there

Ah!
Yeah!

Overall Meaning

The Scorpions' song "It All Depends" is a fairly straightforward rock track with lyrics that revolve around a conflicted and slightly codependent relationship. The opening lines of the song are somewhat humorous, with the singer (presumably a man) complaining about his lover's tendency to mooch off of him. He lists a series of actions she takes, including taking his dinner, drinking his beer, and spending his money. However, he quickly follows this up with the line "but I don't care," which suggests that he is willing to tolerate these actions because he loves her.

From there, the lyrics become more romantic and sentimental, with the singer declaring that the woman in question is his love and his dear. He repeats the phrase "love is here, I was there" several times, possibly implying that he is grateful to have found love despite any obstacles or difficulties they may face. The song ends with some enthusiastic "yeahs" and an "ah," lending a celebratory note to the overall tone.
