"Anybody (Movin' On)" is a song recorded by German band Masterboy, released in September 1995, by Polydor Records, as the second single from their fourth album, Generation of Love (1995). The song was both written and produced by the band and achieved success in several countries, particularly in Finland, where it peaked at number eight. In Austria, Belgium and France, it became a top-20 hit, while in Germany, Sweden and Switzerland, it was a top-30 hit. On the Eurochart Hot 100, "Anybody (Movin' On)" reached a respectable number 37. Outside Europe, it was a huge hit in Israel, peaking at number five. The accompanying music video was directed by Gregor Schnitzler.
Ross Jones from The Guardian wrote, "It's made in Germany, it's got a bouncy bassline, you can virtually smell the dry ice whooshing over its keyboards, and it asks you to "Shake your body to the groove" in a steely voice." [1] Music Week rated the song three out of five, adding, "German house-poppers Masterboy hope to repeat their European successes in the Uk with this slice of infectious dancefloor fodder, though the Europop bubble does seem to have burst."
