Anything (SWV song)
"Anything" is a song by American R&B vocal trio SWV from their debut studio album, It's About Time, and the soundtrack to the 1994 film Above the Rim. It was written and produced by Brian Alexander Morgan.
Originally included on It's About Time, the song was later remixed for the Above the Rim soundtrack. This resulted in the song shifting from a slow, R&B ballad to a faster, new jack swing record and features U-God, Ol' Dirty Bastard, and Method Man from the Wu-Tang Clan. Method Man's final verse incorporates a brief sample of Wu-Tang Clan's 1994 single "C.R.E.A.M.". Released as a single in 1994, the song became a top-20 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 18 whilst also peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart, becoming the group's fifth top-40 hit on the pop charts and their sixth top-10 hit on the R&B charts. The single also found success on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 30, becoming the group's fifth top-40 hit.
Critical reception
James Hamilton from Music Week's RM Dance Update described the song as a "EnVogue-ishly wailed jolting funky roller".Track listings
