The alternative cover was designed to be less controversial by simply showing a photo of the band members, which was the same photo as the one on the inner sleeve. Despite the record company having shown the original cover art to retailers without any concerns, a complaint by Walmart in the US after the album was released resulted in PolyGram Records issuing a "clean" cover for use in several department store chains. The original cover art was created by Kochlowski, which is a German graphic design company, and features a photo shot by renowned German photographer Helmut Newton. The song " Rock You Like a Hurricane" reached number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the same year " Still Loving You" reached number 64 on the same chart, number 14 in Germany, and number 3 in the French and Swiss single charts. It became the group's most successful album in the US, where it peaked at number 6 on the Billboard 200 chart in 1984, and went double-platinum by the end of the year, reaching triple-platinum status in 1995.

Love at First Sting is notable in that it was one of the first digitally recorded heavy metal records ever released. Initial sessions took place in Stockholm's Polar Studios in the Summer of 1983 with ex- Rainbow members Jimmy Bain on bass and Bobby Rondinelli on drums, but nothing made it to the final album. The album was recorded in 19 at Dierks Studios in Stommeln, West Germany.
