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".

Scorpions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To make a man just lose his mind
To give me a shiver send it down to my spine
It's all because of
You have got a body to
To bring a man down on his knees
Just let me inside don't leave me begging please
Don't ever go
That I'm under the spell of your love
Got nothing but you on my mind
That's the way it goes
It's no wonder you're tearing my heart
Simply in pieces tonight
You have got a body to
To make a man just sell his soul
Right to the devil I think after all
I should have known
Everybody knows
That I'm under the spell of your love
Got nothing but you on my mind
Everybody knows
And I wonder if you know it too
I skywrite your name way up high
In the sky in the sky in the sky
To bring a man down on his knees
Just let me inside don't leave me begging please
Don't ever go
Everybody knows
That I'm under the spell of your love
Got nothing but you on my mind
That's the way it goes
It's no wonder you're tearing my heart
Simply in pieces tonight
Everybody knows
That I'm under the spell of your love
Got nothing but you on my mind
Everybody knows
And I wonder if you know it too
I skywrite your name way up high
In the sky in the sky in the sky

The lyrics of Scorpions's song Skywriter talk about infatuation and the extreme attraction one can feel towards another person's body. The singer of the song is completely mesmerized by the physical appearance of their love interest and is willing to do anything to be with them. The lyrics suggest that this infatuation is not healthy, as the singer is willing to sell their soul to the devil for a chance to be with the person they desire.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the power that the love interest has over the singer. The singer's mind is consumed by thoughts of the love interest, and they cannot think of anything else. The lyrics suggest that this infatuation is not reciprocated, as the singer is left begging for the love interest's attention.
The last part of the song talks about the singer's desire to make their love interest aware of their feelings. The lyrics suggest that the singer wants to make a grand gesture to grab the love interest's attention, as they skywrite their name way up high in the sky. The song ends with the singer still consumed by their infatuation, but hopeful that their message has been received.
