“Eat You Up” is a Dance song recorded by pop singer Isabel for her compilation album, Portrait (2020). It was written by Sunny Monroe and Isabel Merjos with production from The Outsyders. The song is the first song released from the singer in over 5 years after going on a hiatus from music and the entertainment industry altogether. The lyrics talk about Izzy warning the listener that she is just intoxicating enough that her feelings can ‘consume’ others and at the same time she doesn’t feel regret for someone who becomes consumed with her. She uses the term ‘Eat You Up’ as a way to also describe the feeling the other person will get once they become enamored with her but she doesn’t return that she hopes it eats them up inside.

Serving as the lead single of her compilation album, the track is one that manages to capture some of Izzy’s past hits and make small, but noticeable references to them in the lyrics. The one thing listeners will notice is the production of the song. It is mainly electro pop but has some Latin influence included, which is prominent in the chorus. The intense beat mixed with Izzy’s inviting vocals makes for an excellent combo. Izzy describes the song as one that is playful and can be interpreted in different ways. If you wanted to go the romantic route, the song could be about Izzy’s past lovers and how she is saying it is difficult for them forget her, “Mmm, you know it’s not easy/To cast me away so freely” meaning it is not simple to just throw away what they had as if it was nothing. The rest of the verse is her pretty much declaring that her love is one that makes you feel on top of the world and incomparable with everyone else. She has the capability of “making you one of a kind” meaning making the person feel like they were the only one. She continues on to say that she loves how it makes the past lover feel uncomfortable and restless, thinking about her constantly and yearning over her. In the chorus, Izzy talks about how they have been watching her every move, unable to go a night without her. In the next line, she references her single, “Muse” in which she sings about being someone's inspiration but in this setting she claims to me more than a muse and more like an ‘obsession’ stating that she has consumed their thoughts to the point they will come undone.

The hook, which is so incredibly catchy, is a warning. She acknowledges the fact that they cannot get enough of each other and proceeds to warn them that they should run from her before she “eats them up” meaning before she, in a nice way, devours their thoughts and emotions. Now, so far from the beginning of the song, Izzy’s tone has been normal, with her light and airy vocals coming front and center during the verses, and then during the hook, she switches it up a bit by going from singing to talking in her husky voice for the “luck” part where she almost in a monotone like voice speaks the word before jumping back into the next line of singing again in her light and airy tone. The second verse is self-explanatory with the same theme as the first but using more examples of how alluring she can be. In the bridge, she references another single of hers, “Sleep At Night” which mainly talks about a breakup and how she hopes they are able to both move on and sleep better at night. In this song, Izzy says she will be able to sleep at night while they toss and turn.

Now, the second interpretation could be Izzy is poking fun at her “anti” fans. While we know not everyone may like Izzy, there are always people who will still know what she is doing and other personal facts from her life. Izzy is even aware of that and the lyrics could be a tongue in cheek response. Basically, same meaning but in a non romantic way.
Izzy debuted the song at the 7th annual Fan Choice Awards after closing the show with a medley of her hits and took to her Instagram to announce she would be releasing a greatest hits album in October, presumably on the day in which it will mark her 12th year in the entertainment industry. She also stated the album would not just include her hits but some fan favorites as well, including this new single. A music video is also set to be released to accompany the single.

The single is available for purchase and streaming on all major music apps.

[Verse 1]
Mmm, you know it’s not easy (no)
To cast me away so freely
Leaving you feeling so incredible, on your new pedestal
They say that I’ve got a way of making you one of a kind

Love it when you look uncomfortable (uncomfortable)
Drives you crazy you can’t tame me like you thought (like you thought)
Every time you get a little taste
It leaves you in that place
Before you know you’re past the point of no return

[Chorus]
Just like that you’ve got me under watchful eyes
And just like that without me you can’t make it through the night
Slowly you’re falling, don’t know what to do
More than a muse, your thoughts I’ve consumed
I can’t promise you won't come undone (oh)
We can’t get enough
You’ve run out of (luck)
You better run
Before I eat you up
We can’t get enough
You’re all out of (luck)
Go on and run
While it eats you up

[Verse 2]
You’ll have to excuse me (yeah)
Cause I ran all out of empathy
No matter how much we both give and take, its written on your face
You say that you are so done but we both know that’s a lie

Always sitting on the tip of your tongue (of your tongue)
Try to compare but you know that there is none (there ain't none)
And I know you hope I’ll fade away
So you don’t take the blame
But my scent is all that you’ve ever known

[Chorus]
Just like that you’ve got me under watchful eyes
And just like that without me you can’t make it through the night
Slowly you’re falling, don’t know what to do
More than a muse, your thoughts I’ve consumed
I can’t promise you won't come undone (oh)
We can’t get enough
You’ve run out of (luck)
You better run
Before I eat you up
We can’t get enough
You’re all out of (luck)
Go on and run
While it eats you up

[Bridge]
I’ll send you deep into the end
Spiraling so close to the edge
I’ll sleep so good at night as you toss and turn
It’s a lesson learned

[Chorus]
Just like that you’ve got me under watchful eyes (I see your eyes)
And just like that without me you can’t make it through the night (ni-i-ight)
Slowly you’re falling, don’t know what to do
More than a muse, your thoughts I’ve consumed
I can’t promise you won't come undone (oh)
We can’t get enough
You’ve run out of (luck)
You better run
Before I eat you (up)
We can’t get enough
You’re all out of (luck)
Go on and run
While it eats you up
