"Anything" was a single released by The Damned in 1986.

Contents

Previewing the group's new album of the same name, the song saw a slight move away from the Goth rock of Phantasmagoria, moving closer to a more classic rock sound. The single received lukewarm reviews, and considering the success of the previous album, and "Eloise", its UK #32 peak was seen as a disappointment.

MCA also issued the single in Ireland and Australia.
