He revealed the cover art and a 15-second trailer of the song's accompanying music video the following day. On December 31, 2020, Bieber performed his first full concert since 2017, which included the debut performance of "Anyone". Speaking of the song, Bieber said: "'Anyone' is such a special, hopeful, anthemic song. It sets the tone for a brighter new year full of hope and possibility".
In February 2021, a demo of "Anyone" by Camila Cabello leaked. The demo suggests that the song was once intended as a bonus track for Cabello's 2019 album Romance.

It was directed by American music video director and film maker Colin Tilley and stars American actress Zoey Deutch who plays Bieber's love interest in the video. Bieber portrays a 1940s boxer whose powerful love for his other half inspires him to train, fight, and eventually overcome a potential K.O. on his journey to becoming a champion. For the music video, Bieber covered up all of his tattoos.
Bieber performed the song for the first time during his New Year's Eve concert on December 31, 2020. He later performed the song on March 13, 2021, during the 2021 Kids' Choice Awards. In May 2, he performed the song on Big Brother Brasil 21.
In February 2021, American music professional Rick Beato compared "Anyone" to "Goin' Home" (1998), a song by American rock band Toto. He expressed his opinion that the choruses of the songs are written in the same key, and the melody and tempo are almost the same. Canadian radio station CKDR-FM expressed a similar opinion. American guitarist and Toto's founding member Steve Lukather accused Bieber of stealing "Goin' Home" in a May 2021 interview. Meanwhile, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) lists Toto members David Paich and Joseph Williams as co-writers of the song as well as Susan Porcaro-Goings, the widow of Toto's late drummer Jeff Porcaro.
