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

Previewing the group's new album of the same name, the song saw a move away from the Goth rock of "Phantasmagoria", moving closer to a hard 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.
