"Can't Get Enuff" is a single by American rock band Winger from their 1990 album In the Heart of the Young.
Written by frontman Kip Winger and guitarist Reb Beach, "Can't Get Enuff" was the first single from the band's second album, debuting on the U.S. charts in July 1990.[{{BillboardURLbyName|artist=winger|chart=Mainstream Rock Tracks}} Top Music Charts – Hot 100 – Billboard 200 – Music Genre Sales] The song's music video, directed by Michael Bay,{{cite book|last1=Tannenbaum|first1=Rob|last2=Marks|first2=Craig|date=September 25, 2012|title=I Want My MTV: The Uncensored Story of the Music Video Revolution|edition=revised paperback|location=New York, New York|publisher=Plume|page=425|isbn=978-0452298569}} received heavy rotation at MTV and the up-tempo rocker was Winger's most successful track at rock radio, where it peaked at #6 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The song was also a moderate pop hit, narrowly missing the Top 40 to peak at #42 on the Hot 100 at the end of September.[http://www.billboard.com/charts/1990-09-22/hot-100 Top Music Charts – Hot 100 – Billboard 200 – Music Genre Sales] During this single's chart run, the album In the Heart of the Young was certified Gold by the RIAA.[https://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?table=SEARCH_RESULTS RIAA – Gold & Platinum – August 12, 2008] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070626051113/http://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?table=SEARCH_RESULTS |date=June 26, 2007 }} According to Kip Winger, the song was a late addition to the track listing, written because it was felt that there were not enough rock songs on the album. "Easy Come Easy Go" came about the same way.{{cite web|url=http://www.ccbanana.com/sludge/rewindkipwinger.htm |title=Metal Sludge Rewind with Kip Winger |publisher=Metal Sludge |accessdate=January 1, 2009 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090101015859/http://www.ccbanana.com/sludge/rewindkipwinger.htm |archivedate=January 1, 2009 }}
