"Eyes Wide Shut" is a song by English boy band JLS from their second studio album, Outta This World. The song, written by JLS, and Tim McEwan and Lars Halvor Jensen of Danish production team DEEKAY, was released as the third single from the album on 13 February 2011. The single version of the track features guest vocals from English rapper Tinie Tempah. The song has peaked at number eight in the United Kingdom.

JLS recorded the track for inclusion on their second studio album, Outta This World. The band stated that the track was not originally intended to be released as a single, however, following a re-working of the track with rapper Tinie Tempah, Marvin revealed it was the obvious choice for a third single in an interview for Digital Spy: "He's the best rapper in the country and the only person we wanted to work with, so it would silly not to make it a single." The band performed the track live for the first time during the opening dates of their Outta This World arena tour, with Tinie Tempah performing the song with them at the London dates of the tour.

The music video was shot in London in November 2010, and was directed by acclaimed American director Syndrome. Shot entirely against a green screen, Marvin Humes of the group noted that the video took strong influence from the Jim Henson film Labyrinth. The video depicts JLS singing and dancing in a fantasy world, and fighting their way through a series of enforced obstacles such as stone walls, trees etc., whilst a mysterious female figure floats above them throughout the duration of the video. The video premiered on the group's VEVO channel in January 2011.

Robert Copsey of Digital Spy compared the song to Liberty X's "Thinking It Over". He gave the song 4 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Yes, the newer tune is more club-friendly-2011-stylee and features a guest rap from man of the mo Tinie Tempah, but the pop-garagey verses and R&B-lite, catchy-as-cholera chorus have a distinctly old-school feel to them that makes for yet another unstoppable chart missile from Marv & Co."
