Building on the motivational themes of earlier Hedley singles like "Invincible" and "One Life", its lyrics convey a message of resilience and self-belief, encouraging listeners to pursue their goals regardless of societal pressure.

Critical reception
Emma Garland at Alter The Press! gave the song a mixed review, feeling that although "Anything" is "insanely catchy", the "uh-uh, fuck that" hook is "awkward" and "quickly gets irritating". Philip Lickley at UK music blog All-Noise described the song as "a stadium-friendly chanting song... with a strong message" that "screams out for radio play", and rated it a 7 out of 10. The single was nominated for two awards at the 2014 Juno Awards: Video of the Year and Producer of the Year. ==Music video==
Music video
The music video for "Anything" was directed by JP Poliquin and was shot at The Great Hall in Toronto, Ontario. Speaking about the video, Hoggard stated, "In the spirt of the concept of the song, we were like, 'Hang on, f--k, this, let's just do whatever the f--k we want. I think that would almost be the truest form of expressing the sentimentality of that song in video form.'" ==Awards and nominations==
