context_page_description: "Eat You Up" is a song recorded by South Korean recording artist BoA for her twelfth studio and debut English eponymous studio album. It was released on October 16, 2008 in Japan as the lead single from the album. The song was written by Remee and Thomas Troelsen, while production was handled by Henrik Jonback. The song was BoA's first attempt into the Western market, particularly North America. Musically, the track was described as an electronic dance song with elements of R&B.
  Upon its release, "Eat You Up" garnered positive reviews from music critics. Many critics commended the song's electronic and dance-infused composition, and praised the song's commercial appeals; they also felt it was a choice to release through Western markets, and felt BoA's English skills had improved. It was successful on the US Billboard Dance Club Songs chart, peaking at number eight and staying in the chart for 12 consecutive weeks.
  Two music videos were created for the single; the first had BoA dancing in ballet recital with back-up dancers, whilst the second has her dancing in a utopian-inspired planet. BoA performed the single during several of her concerts, including her Nowness and Who's Back?
context_section_description: A remix of the single featured American rapper Flo Rida, which was slated for a November 2008 release. However, after the single was leaked online, the release was scrapped. BoA performed the song at YouTube's Tokyo Live concert, and performed in New York City on December 3, 2008, as well as the Jingle Ball at the Anaheim Honda Center on December 6, 2008. She headlined as a performer for the San Francisco Pride Festival on June 28, 2009 alongside Solange Knowles and The Cliks. She also performed the song, alongside "Energetic" and "I Did It for Love". from the self-titled studio album.
  BoA performed the song on her Best & USA concert tour. It was later included on the live DVD for her studio album Identity (2010). The song was performed on BoA's Identity tour in Asia, where it was included during the first segment. It included on the live album, released on August 18, 2010. The song was performed on Here I Am tour in South Korea, where it was included during the first segment. It was included on the live DVD, released on July 2, 2015. The song was performed on BoA's Who's Back concert tour in Japan, where it was included during the first segment. It included on the live album, released on February 25, 2015. The song was performed on BoA's Nowness concert tour in Japan, where it was included during the first segment.
  "Eat You Up" was included on BoA's double album Best & USA (2009). "Eat You Up", and BoA herself, have both been recognized by publications as a factor towards Korean Wave; a neologism that justifies an immigration of the culture of South Korea into Western market and society. But despite BoA's attempts to break into the Western market, particularly North America, such attempts did not succeed. Esther Oh, a freelance journalist writing for CNN, stated that BoA and another South Korean recording artist Se7en moved back to South Korea after their U.S. music careers struggled to gain traction. Oh labelled their attempts as "complete flops".
