Any Way You Want It - Journey - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Journey’s "Any Way You Want It", released in February 1980 as the lead single from their album Departure, is a quintessential example of the band’s arena rock prowess. Written by Steve Perry and Neal Schon, the song was born out of their time on tour with Thin Lizzy, whose influence can be heard in the interplay between heavy guitar riffs and powerful vocals. The track's infectious energy helped it peak at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100, solidifying Journey’s place in the rock landscape. The lyrics, celebrating freedom and the thrill of living life on your terms, struck a chord with fans, making "Any Way You Want It" a staple in the band’s live performances. The song gained further cultural significance when it was featured in the 1980 comedy Caddyshack, blasting from Rodney Dangerfield’s character’s golf cart. With its driving beat and memorable chorus, "Any Way You Want It" remains one of Journey’s most enduring hits, a testament to the band’s ability to craft timeless rock anthems.
