Journey - Any Way You Want It

Any Way You Want It by Journey Song Info

Any Way You Want It is a popular song performed by Journey released on the album Departure as the opening track, as a single in 1980 and was rerecorded with Arnel Pineda and Deen Castronovo for their 2008 album Revelation. The song was written by frontman Steve Perry and guitarist Neal Schon. It peaked at #23 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The band often plays it to close their concerts. It appears on all four of the band's live albums (Captured, Greatest Hits Live, Live in Houston 1981: The Escape Tour, and Revelation on DVD). The song was named the 80th best hard rock song of all time by VH1. Since its release, the song has continued to infiltrate public consciousness due to its use in television advertisements by popular brands such as Heinz, McDonald's, Ford and Samsung. It has been used in films such as Caddyshack and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle and was covered in the episode "Journey" of the musical TV series Glee in a mash-up with another Journey song, Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'. Song information According to cowriter Steve Perry, the song was heavily influenced by Irish rock band Thin Lizzy and more particularly by bassist leader Phil Lynott. In July 1979, Journey was touring with Thin Lizzy across the United States when Lynott, Perry and Schon decided to share rhyme scheme exercises during a hanging out in Miami. The "basic" work on "the guitar-vocal-guitar-vocal interchange thing that happened between Phil and his lyrics and the guitarist and his arrangements, inspired the Any Way You Want It sorta give and take thing. It’s guitar-voice, guitar-voice, more guitar-guitar-guitar-voice. It be voice-voice and back and forth and that’s something that Neal and I think just instinctually picked up by hanging out with him" commented Perry. Schon and Perry would then rework on the song in the band bus, with Schon on acoustic guitar and Perry for vocals. Lynott's contribution later influenced other songs built on the same scheme such as Stone In Love. For the studio version, keyboardist Gregg Rolie originally used a mellotron but since it was defective, co-producer Geoff Workman decided to fix the sound by doubling it with Rolie's regular organ in the final mixing, creating the unique sounding background support for the song.

- Best playlist

I love Journey sooooo much 😹😹😹

- Awesome music

Awesome music great voice big fan music and video music not a fan anymore

- All of the reviews are 10 years old!!

Oh man, this is classic ballad rock, Perry's full amazing voice and tender beautiful lyrics. This band is still relevant after all of these years, they stood the test of time. Listen to this with Steve Perry as the one and only frontman the greatest of all time. Recently inducted into the rock hall of fame these guys so deserve it. My heart will always be forever young and forever in love with Steve Perry and Journey

- AMAZING

Amazing album...the 80s and 90s music were..I mean are the best 😎😎😎

- Don't stop believing!

I am 27 I love listening to don't stop believing.

- Love it

I apsolutely love journey plus it's even better in concert

- You will know every song!

This album is one of the greatest I've ever heard. Make sure to follow my IG at matt_sermini and my snapchat at Matthew.sermini

- No

Journey is so bad and cringey

- Wow. I love this music

Faithfully I would listen to this music till I die because it has something that music today doesn't posses. Soul. These people made wonderful music back then and I do realize that some people now a days are trying to make good music but it doesn't come close to what is made here in this album and others like it. I'm sixteen and growing up my parents listened to this music so I was naturally listening to it and thank god. I ask some of my friends if they've heard of Journey or Lynyrd Skynyrd and they say no and I don't know how. Culture today is awful and it would astound me if music like this came back for some time.

- 5/5

Best bands ever!!!

- Love this classic

This is a must have if your a glee fan

- Memories. ❤️

Faithfully & journey will forever remind me of the love of my life, Danilo. The one who got away.

- Steve Perry⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best singer of ALL TIME!!

- Really?

Seriously, people. If you can find pre-Perry Journey, you'll change your mind. This is their sell-out phase. They were at their best in the seventies.

- Favorite Band

Absolutely Love Journey

- The best of all time

This is the greatest Greatest Hits album of all time. Brings back so many good memories.

- It's a

Classic

- Love love love this album

I love Journey and this album. Whenever I am in a terrible mood, I play this album I automatically cheer up. I love Faithfully, Lights, Open Arms and Don't Stop Believing. One of my favorite albums!

- One of the best albums ever

Faithfully will be my wedding song.

- Great🔥

Must have🔥

- Simply addictive

This is one of these collections take you to the past and brings you back to the present, listen again and again without a break. One of the most and for me the best 80's band in one album, and with the real Steve Perry the one and only. Defenitly something that must to have.

- I love it

Great song! One of the best I have ever heard

- You have to get this!!!!

Iv downloaded the album and I listen to it every day and I blast this music on my Bluetooth speakers! And sounds great! I'm only 13 and Im in love with every album they made even without Steve perry!!!!

- Love it!!

Don't stop believing is my life. Just sayin'.

- You are my

Nfo bvf

- STEVE A. was the best lead singer Journey

Voice, talent and showmanship! If he ever comes back to Journey I would be at every concert and buy all the albums he is on. Already own the onces from his time with Journey. I like him better than any other including Steve Perry.

- Ten years ago

I purchased music on my BANK OF AMERICA CARD, that I bought on MY STOLEN IDENTITY. NOW CHECK OUT WHAT I PURCHASED AND TELL ME THAT MY ID NEVER EXISTED!!!!!

- ESSENTIAL

It's journey could you really go wrong 🤔...NO! MUST HAVE

- Must have item

Jourmey !!!😝😝😝😝

- The best there is

Whoever is not a fan of Journey is no friend of mine.

- Unbelievable

Steve Perry's voice is renowned for being the best rock singer of all time, and I wholeheartedly agree. It's so clear, flawless, and beautiful. I love all of these songs, and I'll give a shoutout to my personal favorites, Any Way You Want It and Don't Stop Believin'. I love love love Journey!!!

- Journey is one of the best

I love this album they did it an did it right Steve Perry god bless all of you y'all deserve being we're y'all are at now

- Love

Made me feel better when I was sad

- Journey's Greatest Hits

This album is a must have if you like Steve Perry. When he left the group,they got a guy very similar,but if you watch and listen closely he can't hold a candle to Steve.

- Best

Perfect that s all I got to say

- The Best Album

Grew up with this music and love it all .....

- Wonderfully Beautiful.

I love this album. I also love Journey. If you loved Journey then, you'll still love them now!

- A Must Have For Sure!!!

These are some of the greatest ever made! And besides who doesn't love Journey!

- Remastered

All of these iTunes Journey albums have neen remastered with Arnel, nowhere does it state that and this is misrepresentation! I am angry!!!! Unacceptable if I wanted Journey with Arnel I would by the new stuff! I wanted Steve Perry. I want my money back and "Journey Official" and iTunes need to let the public know thesehave been remasterd with Arnel's voice

- 😕

THIS IS NOT STEVE PERRY

- Feeling Inspired Song!

Great feeling & Beautiful song!

- ❤️

Love this cd!!!!

- Best album ever

Greatest hits from greatest band

- Memory Lane!

Steve Perry to this day has the most unique voice... Journey's music brings back the memories of growing up in the greatest era... 70's and 80's! This Album is a must have!

- Great album to get yourself into this band

I am fortunate in that I was a teenager in the 80s....and a kid in the 70s...so I was able to hear and see a lot of these super groups....these guys like many other arena bands practiced and perfected their songs for the large audience....Steve perry is an amazing singer....but the whole band is technically very sound....the music is pretty timeless..I would add stoned in love to this cd, which summed up many of my summers...I am glad younger people are finding these bands and getting blown away....a lot of the new junk on can't even hold one lighter raised up to these guys.

- Can you wear out iTunes??!

I've had this album as a cassette.. twice. Cause I wore it out. I've had it as a CD...twice. Cause I wore it out. And now via iTunes cause... I can't wear it out that way. Though I'll,try! It reminds me of a love that will never be lost- Faithfully!

- Amazing Album

This album is just great! There isn't one song in this one that I don't like. They are very iconic from the time period. I remember listening to these songs for the first time and fell in love with them. Journey is one of the best examples of classic rock and roll during the 80s. I recommend this album for those who want to listen to a great group and don't stop believing!

- Absolutely

A must hav for everyone!

- classic and good

music like this doesnt exist anymore cherish it

- Classic 80's

Great music for young and old--takes us older folks back to the college days of the 80's.....this is Journey at its absolute best--with Steve Perry. Journey without Steve Perry is, well, not Journey (with due respect to the current frontman). Steve Perry has one of the best rock voices of all time, and he shines on this collection.

Such a great song!

- JOUUUURNEEY!!

i have fell in love with journey recently and now there climbing the christmas charts i couldnt be happier :)

- Not Everybody Loves Journey As Much As You..

It looks like everybody does like Journey as much as J.D. after all (Scrubs reference).

- Timeless Open Arms xxxxxx

Just had to have this after hearing Joe McElderrys version..lovely song don't know how I missed it years ago...

- Journey!!!

Journey are awesome!! They are also climbing in the singles chart!! I smell third position in the charts at least by the end of the week!! Come on Journey!

- A Journey of Amazement

What an album, What a Band!!!! These are a million times better than any bands that are around these days. People need to appriciate real music!

- Monster tune!

I first heard this on the film monster and fell in love with it!! Tune!!

- Joe is the reason why this song is in the charts

I appriciate the original version but I think Joe Mcelderry has relaunched Journeys career by singing this song effortlessly on the x factor for which the band should be eternally grateful.

- Don't miss this one

since i heard "Don't stop believing" I hear it everywhere this is a brilliant album and i can't believe it was made before i was born it just goes to show you some music is timeless ) classic buy it now.

- The Sopranos!

Reminds me of the final scene of the greatest TV show ever made - THE SOPRANOS! Amazing song!

- Scrubs

JD loves journey, and so do i. Great band with great songs, especially worth buying 'Dont Stop Believin'

- AMAZING :)

ive always loved them, it annoys me so much that people only know this now because of THE X FACTOR.

- Don't stop believin

I used to finish work at the hotel I was working at in 1988 and listen to the imortal lines " once a small town boy " and became addicted to don't stop believin Me and my girlfriend at the time would sing along and get drunk Amazing song and great memories

- Don't Stop the Journey

What a band! Steve Perry is a vocal god and is my total hero. I aspire to sing like him and anyone who comes close has natural talent. The Journey ballads are inspiring and give you that feel good shiver every time you hear them. Don't Stop Believin and Faithfully are equally my favourite songs of all time. I would also look up Arnel Pineda who is the new lead singer for Journey and also a Superb vocalist.

- a classic

a classic!!

- Fabulous!!

I heard this ages ago on family guy!! And I loved joes version! Finally this song is getting credit :)

- Brilliant!!!

Journey are able to encapsulate everything good about music in every song- the crisp, undisputable vocals from perry wailing over some awesome guitar solos is rock perfection. Best songs are the timeless classic 'Don't Stop Believin'', the gotta-get-up-and-dance anthem 'Any Way You Want It' and the rock 'n' roll - ballad fusion of 'Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'.

- Amazing!!

One of the best albums of all time - Thankfully Joe Mcelderry wont be crucifying anymore of their songs..

- Amazing...both ways

Everybody who says Joe killed this song is wrong...Joe introduced Journey to a whole generation...the whole reason Don't Stop Believin is the most listened to song in my iTunes library is because of Joe!! I love Joe and he SHOULD release a cover on Don't Stop Believin because everyone I have asked would by it!! And we're all massive pop fans...but I love classic rock!! SO STOP DISSING OUR LITTLE JOE!!!!!!

- The Real version

I hate how people leave comments about joe mcwhatshisname on this song when all he did was a poor cover of the song [/rant over]

- Boring

Prefer joes version

- Pure Iconic Rock

This band define good rock and are a must for anyone with ears. be it the amazing guitar or the soft yet meaningful vocals of mr steve perry. this album is gonna be on at my funeral! JOURNEY FOR LIFE!! x

- Journey's greatest - simply the greatest

It doesn't get better than this. Lose yourself in Perry's vocals and you'll be hooked. Watch out though, once you're in, it's a lifelong affair...

- journey

this is a must for all music lovers a nice easy listening album to jusy relax to

- Superb

The sopranos got me into journey, I'm hooked now, I also downloaded the jigawotts, shine ep it's class

- Great

Lets be honest this is only here doing so well at the moment coz of Joe of x factor who by the why way wrecked it with his version but this is a classic and still an awesome track buy it so it beats Joe McElderry's song in the Christmas charts(so hope he don't get no 1)

- GO JOE!

LOVE IT....but Joe McElderry's version was better ;) X

- X-factor

Lets see how many people buy this after hearing it on the show?!!

- Glee

Heard it on Glee, thought it was amazing! Talking about Joe didn't he sing this song agessss ago on the X Factor? Anyway great song, worth downloading.

- THE song!

This has to be one of the greatest songs of all time. A truly Anthemic number that has real meaning in the lyrics. One of my personal favourites, if there was a 6 star rating, this would get it from me.

- eighties soft rock.

pure eighties rock music.just sit back and chill.

- Ultimate Journey!

This is a must for Journey fans, got all the classics, from the iconic 'Don't Stop Believin' to the pure rock of 'Anyway You Want it.' For new fans just sit back and enjoy the unique voice of Steve Perry and the fabulous guitar riffs of Neil Schon and I promise you, you will be hooked!

- Great album but please stop the embarassing x-factor comparisions

Cant believe some people have only downloaded this after watching a shocking X-Factor cover by someone who will be no-one in 2 years time. This song is 1980's classic and is timeless, to compare it too Joe's bad karoake version is a complete insult to the band. Some other great tunes on the album to particularly 'Any way you want it, Lights and Only the Young'.
