"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]

I mixed "Applause" and produced "Third Finger Left Hand" for Passion, I cut "Right Back In The Middle" for Nightmare and the album, "The Best Of Angie Gold" on Hot, from Miami. She now lives in the Canary Islands. The Divas rule once again. When we did the album in the 1990s, we re-recorded her huge High Energy anthem, "Eat You Up', and here she is performing it.
