"Anything" is a song recorded by American R&B vocal trio SWV for their debut studio album It's About Time (1992) and the soundtrack to the 1994 film Above the Rim. It was written and produced by Brian Alexander Morgan.

Originally featured on It's About Time, the song was later remixed to be featured on the Above the Rim soundtrack. This resulted in the song's shifting from a slow, R&B ballad to a faster, new jack swing record. Released as a single in 1994, the song became a top-20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 18 whilst also peaking at number 4 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, becoming the group's fifth top forty hit on the pop charts and its sixth top ten hit on the R&B charts. The single also found success in the Adult R&B Songs chart, peaking at number 5, the group's highest peak along with Right Here/Human Nature, and the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 30, becoming the group's fifth top 40 hit.
