"Anything" is a song by American singer JoJo from her second studio album, The High Road (2006). It was released as the album's third and final single on March 20, 2007. Written by Beau Dozier, Mischke, and Justin Trugman, the track contains a sample from Toto's 1982 song "Africa", written by David Paich and Jeff Porcaro.
The single served as the second official single from The High Road in European countries and was released in the United Kingdom on May 7, 2007; it began gaining airplay there on March 24, 2007, eventually debuting on BBC Radio 1's playlist under the B-list section. JoJo was in the UK during the first two weeks of May to promote the single; she performed at London's G-A-Y on May 12, and appeared on GMTV on May 8 as part of a series of radio and television interviews. "Anything" remained in the top 40 of the UK Singles Chart for three weeks.
On September 4, 2013, a remix of the song was released featuring American rapper Casey Veggies and Italian musician Francesco.[1]
In About.com's review of The High Road, Bill Lamb called "Anything" a "tasty pop confection."[2]
The music video for "Anything" was expected to premiere on May 2, 2007. JoJo's UK street team had launched a competition for fans to create their own video for "Anything" that would appear on the enhanced CD when the single was released. It was announced that member "TheHighRoad" won the video mission and his video would be placed on the official website, but fans who wanted to watch it would have to buy the CD because it "unlocks" the video. JoJo posted on her Myspace page that an official video was not completed and that she had asked Blackground Records to facilitate the production process with her and her management. An official video never surfaced.
