"
Anything for You" is a
popular song and ballad written by
Gloria Estefan and sung by Estefan and
Miami Sound Machine. The song appeared on their 1987 album,
Let It Loose. "Anything for You" became a number-one song in the
United States summer of 1988; it was the band's (and Gloria's) first number-one and also saw a European first-release during the same period but failed to have the same impact there as the re-release in December 1988. It did top the
Billboard magazine
Hot 100 chart on May 14, 1988, and remained there for two weeks. Due to the success of the re-release of this signature song and the previous re-release in October 1988 from the single, "
Can't Stay Away from You," outside North America the album
Let It Loose saw a re-release named after the single: "Anything For You" The song also spent three weeks at #1 on the
Adult Contemporary chart that same year. It also peaked at #3 on the
Hot Latin Tracks on June 25, 1988. The A-side of the single contained a longer fade than the version on the album. The B-side of the single was a
Spanglish version of the song, with Estefan alternating the verses and chorus between English and Spanish.
