"Anywhere for You" is a song by American boy band Backstreet Boys. It was released as the fifth single from their international self-titled debut album in 1997. It was later included on their debut US album as well. This is one of the earlier recordings on their 1996 debut album. The song was written by Wayne Perry and Gary Baker in 1994 and recorded by the group at the end of that year. A Spanish version of the song, titled "Donde Quieras Yo Iré," was recorded in late 1995 in Zürich along with a Spanish version of "I'll Never Break Your Heart."[2]
Alan Jones from Music Week wrote that "Anywhere for You" "is an impeccably performed ballad on which the boys indulge in much vocal interplay. The whole thing is decorated with sweet harmonies and smells like another major hit for the rapidly developing group."[3]
The accompanying music video for "Anywhere for You" features the band on a beach in Miami Beach, Florida on January 11, 1996, engaging in various recreational activities, such as biking and volleyball. Other shots show them singing the song on the rocks by the water.[4]
