The single arrives ahead of her upcoming as-of-yet untitled album. In a new interview, Ledisi revealed that she was inspired to write a song following the death of a close friend’s father. 

“I was sitting on it for a long time in August, and I came back to it. One day, I was talking to Rex [Rideout] and his family after his father passed away. We were talking about how the love of family never goes away,” she shared with Rolling Out. “Afterward, I went right to my room and after an hour-and-a-half, there was a song inspired by a conversation.”

Though we are facing scary days amid the crisis, the New Orleans-born artist released “Anything For You”  to encourage us all to stay strong and remain hopeful that better days are soon ahead. While the four-minute track wasn’t written about the coronavirus specifically, the powerful devotional serves as a timely reminder that love far outweighs the darkness.

“Anything, ask me, I'll do anything / Anything for you / You are my relief / You're my peace of mind,” she soulfully croons in the chorus. “When everything is wrong / You're right / Oh, you give me peace of mind, my everything.”
