In Ekstasy is the third solo (and fifth overall) studio album by German singer Nina Hagen.

It was Hagen's last album released on the CBS label, before her recording contract expired in 1986.

Hagen worked with Karl Rucker and Billy Liesegang and wrote most of the songs on the album.

She changed her image, sporting a shocking pink, waist-length mane and black eye makeup, and teamed up with Karl Rucker, with whom she had already worked on her two previous albums, and started working with Billy Liesegang and Peter Krause.

The recording process was affected by Adam Kidron's motorbike accident which caused him getting numbness in his arm.

"Gods of Aquarius" begins with a downtempo intro before becoming a heavy rock song, resembling some of Billy Idol's early records.

Lyrically, the song is one of many, where Hagen talks about UFOs, referring to her 1981 experience with spotting something that looked like a cosmic ship in Malibu.

The last song is a punk version of "The Lord's Prayer", which features an interpolation of Aram Khachaturian's "Sabre Dance".

The music video for the song featured a footage of her performance at the Rock in Rio festival.
