Anything (To Find You)
"Anything (To Find You)" is a song by American recording artist Monica taken from her seventh studio album, ''New Life'' (2012). It features additional vocals from American rapper Rick Ross, and was written and produced by longtime contributors Missy Elliott and Cainon Lamb with additional penning from fellow R&B singer Jazmine Sullivan, Henry Fuse, Miguel "Pro" Castro, and William Roberts. The song samples 1995's "Who Shot Ya?" performed by The Notorious B.I.G. and Diddy, and uses an interpolation of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's 1968 hit, "You're All I Need to Get By."
A lyrical homage to hip hop's beginnings, the song's initial version also featured American rapper Lil' Kim and was lined up for a release to urban radios in July 2011. However, by the time of its official digital release as the album's leading single, Kim's vocals had been removed entirely from the track due to contractual issues surrounding B.I.G.'s estate, headed by his mother. Released on August 2, 2011 as the album's first offering, the single version of "Anything" peaked at number twenty-five on the US ''Billboard'' Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
An R&B-up-tempo song, which exhibits elements of the early- to mid 1990s hip hop soul music, "Anything (To Find You)" was well received by music critics, who praised its retro theme and noted it a much-welcomed break from the Europop-dominated influence on contemporary R&B by the time of its release. An accompanying music video for the track was shot in Los Angeles and directed by Chris Robinson in August 2011. Featuring flashy 1990s fashions, boomboxes, and colorfully dressed dancers, the retro-themed video pays homage to the 1990s.
==Background==
"Anything (To Find You)" was written by longtime contributor Missy Elliott along with singer Jazmine Sullivan and producer Cainon Lamb, all of which had contributed to Monica's previous single "Everything to Me" (2010), with additional writing by Henry Fuse, Miguel Castro, and William Roberts. The song contains portions The Notorious B.I.G.'s 1995 record, "Who Shot Ya?", written by Christopher Wallace, Sean Combs, Nashiem Sa-Allah Myrick, Herbert Magidson and Allie Wrubel, which again samples from 1972's "I'm Afraid the Masquerade Is Over", as performed by David Porter.〔 "Anything (To Find You)" also contains elements of "You're All I Need to Get By" (1968), written by Ashford & Simpson and performed by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.〔 Speaking of the recording of the song, which Monica described as an "homage to hip hop's beginnings", she elaborated: "() was basically a record where we knew we needed hip-hop flavor all across the board and the first thing I did was reach out to Lil Kim () And when we sat back and we really listened to it, also we figured we wanted the fellas tofeel comfortable to. And with our mix of “Ladies' Night” with me, Missy and Kim, we all figured that Rick () was the man."
