* Single cover

**Eat You Up** is a song recorded by South Korean recording artist BoA for her twelfth studio and debut English eponymous studio album (2009). 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? concert tours. Since its release, the song has received several recognitions and has been listed on several best lists by Eastern and Western publications. "Eat You Up" is one of the first songs by a Korean artist to be produced and written by Western producers, and is recognized as a key factor to the Korean Wave movement.

"Eat You Up" peaked at number eight on Billboard US Dance Club Songs, and reported 28,000 sales in American territory (Nielsen SoundScan).

## Lyrics

* ENGLISH

When I first saw you I knew nothing's like it used to be
Boy, you have got to be the finest thing in history
The way I feel inside is just so hard to understand
You feed my appetite in ways I can't explain

I'll eat you up, your love, your love
I'll eat you up, your love, your love
Woah, I'll eat you up,
Woah, so yum yum
Woah, can't get enough,
Woah, oh oh, I think I'm in love

If you move any closer, boy, there is no guarantee
What I will do to you I fear it and it's scaring me
Like I've become some kind of demon in the night
You look so tasty, I could eat you up alive

I'll eat you up, your love, your love
I'll eat you up, your love, your love
Woah, I'll eat you up,
Woah, so yum yum
Woah, can't get enough,
Woah, oh oh, I think I'm in love

I'll eat you up, your love, your love
I'll eat you up, your love, your love
Woah, I'll eat you up,
Woah, so yum yum
Woah, can't get enough,
Woah, oh oh, I think I'm in love

Can't stop thinking 'bout the things I wanna do to you
If you move any closer you'd be asking for it too
I want your love, I need your touch
So much I think I'm in love

I'll eat you up, your love, your love
Woah, I'll eat you up,
Woah, so yum yum
Woah, can't get enough,
Woah, oh oh, I think I'm in love

I wanna take you to my room
I'll eat you up
I wanna take you to my room
Woah I'll eat you up,
Woah, so yum yum
Woah, can't get enough,
Woah, oh oh, I think I'm in love

I'll eat you up
I'll eat you up
I'll eat you up
I'll eat you up

I'll eat you up
I'll eat you up
I'll eat you up
