"Save It for Later" is a 1982 song written and recorded by the British ska band The Beat. The song was released as a single from the band's third and final studio album, Special Beat Service (1982), reaching number 47 on the UK Singles Chart. In the US, along with the track, "Sole Salvation", "Save It for Later" went to number 58 on the Billboard Dance/Disco Top 80 chart.
Written by Beat guitarist Dave Wakeling before the band was founded, the song nearly went unreleased due to opposition from bassist David Steele. After pressure from Wakeling and the record company, the song was ultimately recorded for the band's third studio album. The song has since become one of the band's most famous tracks and has been featured in various soundtracks and compilation albums.
