    Released: 17 March 2023

Eat Your Young is the sixth extended play (EP) by Irish singer-songwriter Hozier. The three-track collection was released on 17 March 2023 through Rubyworks Records, to celebrate the singer's birthday, St. Patrick's Day, the ten-year anniversary of his debut, and to tease his then-upcoming third studio album Unreal Unearth. At the time of the EP's release, all three of its songs were slated to appear on Unreal Unearth,[2] though "Through Me (The Flood)" ultimately was absent from the album. Hozier performed the EP in full in a set on NPR's World Cafe on 18 March 2023.[3]

The title track was released as a single the same day and debuted at number seven on the Irish Singles Chart and number 67 on the Billboard Hot 100. For the latter, it became Hozier's second entry on the chart, with the first being the breakout single "Take Me to Church" in 2014. "Eat Your Young" also became Hozier's third song to top the US Adult Alternative Airplay charts.[4] The title track's music video starring Ivanna Sakhno was released on 5 April 2023, followed by a video for "All Things End" on 27 April 2023.[5][6]
