"Anything for You" is a 1988 ballad written by Cuban-American singer and songwriter Gloria Estefan and sung by Estefan and Miami Sound Machine. The song appeared on their 1987 album Let It Loose. After years of fluctuating success in the United States, "Anything for You" marked a breakthrough for the group when it topped the Billboard magazine Hot 100 chart on May 14, 1988, and remained there for two weeks. It was the first of three number-ones for Estefan. Due to the success of the single, the album Let It Loose was re-released with the title Anything For You outside North America .[4] The song also spent three weeks at #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart and peaked at #3 on the Hot Latin Tracks on June 25, 1988.
In the UK, "Anything for You" was released in July 1988 and entered at #87, beginning a steady twelve-week climb which peaked at #10 by September 1988.
Anything For You" is a fine, solid sentimental normie ballad. But its production choices...anchor it to a deeply boring moment for pop balladry.
