"Anything" is a single by English rock band the Damned, released on 10 November 1986 by MCA Records.
Previewing the group's new album of the same name, the song saw a slight move away from the Goth rock of Phantasmagoria, to a more mainstream rock sound.[2] The single received lukewarm reviews, and considering the success of the previous album and "Eloise", its UK Singles Chart peak of No. 32 was seen as a disappointment.
MCA also issued the single in Ireland and Australia.
