Songfacts®:

• "Anyone For You" is an euphoric song that finds George Ezra recalling a romance with a girl called Tiger Lily. Their relationship didn't work out; now the singer has met another love interest and he doesn't want to make the same mistake. This time, Ezra will ensure he grants the girl's wishes and be anyone for her.
• Ezra and his longstanding collaborator, Joel Pott, pieced together the song from an assortment of sources. "'Anyone For You' is a patchwork of lyric ideas found in old notebooks and chance moments shared between musicians in the studio," the singer said.
• The opening verse dates back to something Ezra came up with before he started work on his 2018 album, Staying at Tamara's.
  
  Tiger Lily moved to the city, she'd just turned 21
  And I said: here's my number, hit me up, if you're needing anyone
  And then I can be anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone for you

• During the first 2020 lockdown, Ezra started scouring through old 2015 and 2016 journals looking for inspiration. When he came across the "Tiger Lily moved to the city" lyric, Ezra recognized he'd found something he could work on. "'Anyone for You' is one of these songs that I just had the idea of," he remembered to Apple Music. "I had pages of trying to figure out who Tiger Lily could be."
  
  In his five weeks quarantined in a flat alone, Ezra had plenty of self-conversations. They gave rise to a new understanding of himself that fed into this song. "A big part of that was about the idea that, from whatever age, promoting yourself is an odd thing," he said. "And I think I felt very like locked into 'This is who you are.' And it didn't take much to be like, 'Well, that's not true. There's a lot of you. And that's true of all of us.'"
