“Anytime, Anyplace, Anyhow” – Matt Maltese




Relationships define our lives, and while some diminish over time, certain relationships remain for a lifetime.

In some cases, people stay with us in our imaginations for eternity, even if they aren’t physically in our lives. This type of yearning is examined in singer/songwriter Matt Maltese’s new single, “Anytime, Anyplace, Anyhow.”

The title is a statement within itself, as the song reminisces the feeling of wanting a person to be in your life no matter the circumstances.

Released January 22nd, 2025 via The Orchard, the latest single from Maltese describes the feeling of an unforgettably magnetic pull towards someone. This desire to want them in your lives is a feeling that leaves an imprint on Maltese, forcing the listener to think back to a relationship in their own lives.

I picture you naked at the worst time
Eating with my family, playing live
I don’t care for Spain when you’re in Shanghai
Too ashamed to say it, but I miss
Everything that’s physical about it
I can hardly function since I lost it
Hope you know

“I think there are those people for all of us that occupy a certain incomprehensible place in our brain.. a place we don’t quite have control over,” Maltese tells Atwood Magazine, describing the inspiration behind the track.

“People that have affected you so deeply you almost live with them still, remembering and imagining them against your will. And this song speaks to that, and to the physical (sorry) side of it too.”

Maltese delivers for his listeners once again, curating an emotional anthem for all to enjoy.

“Anytime, Anyplace, Anyhow” is soft-spoken, silky, delicate backtrack that embodies Maltese’s signature lyricism with nurturing instrumentals. He utilizes earnest lyrics to create the evocative new single to add to his discography of releases.

Anytime, anyplace, anyhow
You’re allowed to call me to your hotel suite
I don’t care who you’re with or where you’ve been
Anytime, anyplace, anyhow
You’re allowed to treat me like a piece of meat
I don’t care if it’s been a year or if it’s been 16

When you long for someone in such a shameless, potent way, you become victim to imaginary scenarios your brain can create. This unobtainable tainted reality feels like a trick, with its extremely convincing tactics. Wanting to believe in this alternate universe where things work out is easy, which is why “what-ifs” are so commonly generated in the brain. The main character of these delusions is the person you would do anything for. Maltese expresses the desire to be in the presence of the illustrated character, unconcerned about anything else.

:: INTERVIEW ::



Oh and anytime, anyplace, anyhow
You’re allowed to call me to a quiet street
I don’t care if you love someone who isn’t me
Anytime, anyplace, anyhow
You’re allowed to treat me like the fix you need
One more moment in this empty galaxy

Beautifully nostalgic, “Anytime, Anyplace, Anyhow” concludes by illustrating Maltese’s devotion to a past memory. In an attempt to cope, fantasy is explored in hopes that it develops into reality.

Listeners can find comfort in the concept of wishing for someone you can’t have, or have disconnected from emotionally.

It’s a universal feeling, that is unequivocally captured in one mellow tune.
