Don’t Believe Her

When addressing Don’t Believe Her, we encounter a piece that, while part of an album with several hits, has its own character. The duration of 4 minutes and 56 seconds gives us a clue that it is not a fleeting track, but rather develops with a certain space. The production of this song fell into the hands of Keith Olsen and the Scorpions themselves, who also handled the mixing alongside Shay Baby, Erwin Musper, and Keith Olsen. Several professionals participated in the recording engineering: Shay Baby, Attie Bauw, Albert Boekholt, Tom Fletcher, Erwin Musper, and Keith Olsen.

This track is included on the album Crazy World, released on November 6, 1990. This record was the band’s eleventh studio work. In 1991, Crazy World reached position 21 on the Billboard 200 chart. That same year, other songs from the album such as Wind of Change climbed to position 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and Send Me an Angel reached position 44 on the same chart. It is worth noting that Crazy World was the first Scorpions album since Fly to the Rainbow (1974) not to feature Dieter Dierks as producer. Furthermore, this album was the only one in the band’s history to top the charts in their home country, Germany. In the United Kingdom, Crazy World is the only Scorpions record to have achieved Silver certification from the British Phonographic Industry.
