- Bad Boys Running Wild
- Rock You Like A Hurricane
- Big City Nights
- Still Loving You

Trivia:
- Due to a complaint made by Wal-Mart over the partial nudity displayed on the cover art, they later released a version with "clean" cover art.

- The initial lineup for this album was very different than what it ended up being. First, musicians Francis Buchholz and Herman Rarebell were no longer in Scorpions when the album was about to be recorded, so the band opted to hire the 2 former members of Rainbow, Bobby Rondinelli and Jimmy Bain. While these 2 musicians claim they played on the album, Francis and Herman claim that when they returned to the band, they re-recorded everything the former Rainbow members had recorded.

- A bootleg called "Love at First Sting (Demos & Rehearsals)" was released by a Japanese label in 2012, where it includes recordings with Bobby Rondinelli and Jimmy Bain, and an unreleased song called "Pretty at Night".

Recording information:

Recorded and mixed at Dierks Studios, Stommeln (Pulheim), Germany.
