"'Sexed Up'" is a song by British pop singer Robbie Williams, released as the fourth and last single from his album 'Escapology' in November 2003. It was originally recorded for Natalie Imbruglia, who turned it down. Williams had earlier released it in 1998 in demo form as the B-side to his single "No Regrets".
There are two versions of the song, the album/single version and an unplugged version. The unplugged version has one different lyric line ("I'll lay a bet/that I'm okay" instead of "I can't awaken the dead/day after day" on the first verse) and the guitar solo before the bridge is one measure longer.

The single became another top-ten hit for Robbie Williams in the United Kingdom when it was released in November that year, peaking at number 10, and it reached the top 20 in Australia, Denmark, Ireland, Italy and the Netherlands. In Brazil, the was included in the soundtrack of telenovela 'Mulheres Apaixonadas', in which it played as the theme to the characters Diogo (Rodrigo Santoro) and Marina (Paloma Duarte), a young married couple plagued by infidelity. The single received a special limited release in Australia and New Zealand featuring a bonus live track, special packing and a bonus fold-out poster.
