"Eat You Up" is a song by British singer-songwriter Angie Gold, released in 1985 by Passion Records. It was written by her and Anthony Baker, and produced by Les Hunt.[1][2]

The song spent six weeks on US Billboard's Hot Dance/Disco Club Play chart in July–August 1985,[3] but found more success in Japan, when covered in Japanese by Yōko Oginome towards the end of the year.[4][5] The original by Angie Gold was also popular there – it was released in Japan under the title "Suteki na High Energy Boy" (素敵なハイエナジー・ボーイ, Suteki na Hai Enajī Bōi, "Nice High Energy Boy") and spent four consecutive weeks at No. 1 on Oricon's international singles chart in early 1986.[6] The song was also adapted in several languages by other artists in Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea.

Gold later re-recorded the song with producer Ian Levine for her 1995 compilation album The Best of Angie Gold: Eat You Up.[7][8]
