Commenting on the advance release of their latest album’s title track, due to be out on 25 February 2022, Klaus Meine, SCORPIONS singer and author of the lyrics, says: “Over the years, we've heard people say lots of times that rock is dead. But there are still millions of rock believers out there all over the world that prove them wrong. Our fans are the best in the world ... We'll see you someday somewhere out there, because we're Rock Believers just like you.” The song is a fundamental commitment to rock music, composed by a band in the style of their outstanding, globally successful recordings of the 1980s. Klaus Meine: “The new material sees us return to our roots. We simply wanted to reactivate the original SCORPIONS DNA – great riffs, strong melodies. We tried to transport that live feel to the studio with all five of us playing in one room again at last. Having Mikkey Dee in the band is like a shot of fresh energy and real fun.”
