"Anyone" is a song by Swedish pop music duo Roxette, released on 10 May 1999 as the second single from their sixth studio album, Have a Nice Day. Composed by Per Gessle, the song was inspired by the work of Burt Bacharach and Phil Spector, and the album version of the song was mostly performed in a single take at Atlantis Recording Studio in Stockholm. In Japan, the single was released as a double a-side with "Pay the Price", although no music video was created for that song.

The music video for "Anyone" was directed by Jonas Åkerlund and proved controversial upon release. It ends with a distressed Marie Fredriksson attempting to commit suicide by drowning herself in the ocean, and was banned from airplay on MTV Europe. As a result of this, the song performed poorly on national record charts, becoming a top 30 hit in Belgium, Poland, Spain and Switzerland. Its performance on European charts led to EMI UK deciding against releasing the single there.

"Anyone" was composed by Per Gessle, who said that he was inspired by the work of Burt Bacharach when writing the song. His original demo recording of the track incorporated a large portion of "I Love How You Love Me", a 1961 single by The Paris Sisters which was produced by Phil Spector. The demo version released as a b-side on this single differs from the original demo, with all trace of "I Love How You Love Me" removed. The original demo was later released on The Rox Box/Roxette 86–06, and also as a bonus track on the 2009 reissue of Have a Nice Day.
