In this context, to be "all up on someone" means to be heavily flirting with someone in a physical way. In this song, Charlie Puth says "I'm all up on ya" to describe his straightforward actions towards his love interest. In the general sense, it can also mean that someone has entered another's personal space. Ex: Why are they all up on each other at lunchtime? I don't want to throw up. Ex: Why are you all up on me, man? I don't wanna fight you.
