"Anything Is Possible" is a pop song, co-written by Chris Braide and Cathy Dennis for the winner of the first series of Pop Idol in the UK. The song was recorded by the final three acts in the show, Will Young, Gareth Gates and Darius Danesh.

Pop Idol creator Simon Fuller asked Braide and Dennis to write a song for the show having been impressed by "Have You Ever" and "Say Goodbye", two songs the pair had written for S Club 7.

In an interview with HitQuarters Braide said the song was written in Cathy Dennis' front room at her baby grand piano and recorded on a small Dictaphone. When the song, as recorded by Will Young, proved an immediate smash hit, Dennis supposedly phoned Braide and said: “You won’t believe this, but that little song that we wrote in three hours is selling 100,000 copies a day.”

The song was performed on Pop Idol in the final by both Young and Gates. Young went on to win the show, and released "Anything Is Possible" as a double A-side single, along with "Evergreen", which was also recorded by the final three and performed by the final two. The single went straight to the number one spot in the UK Singles Chart and stayed there for three consecutive weeks, only to be knocked off the top spot by Gates' debut single, "Unchained Melody". It became the fastest-selling debut in UK chart history, selling 403,027 copies on its day of release. It went on to sell over 1,789,000 copies and in the official list of the all-time best-selling singles in the UK issued later that year, it appeared 11th. It was the biggest selling single of the first decade of the 21st century.

William Robert "Will" Young (born 20 January 1979) is a British singer-songwriter and actor who came to prominence after winning the 2002 inaugural series of the British music contest Pop Idol, making him the first winner of the now-worldwide Idols-format franchise. His debut single, "Anything is Possible", was released two weeks after the show's finale and became the fastest-selling debut single in the United Kingdom.

As a teenager, Young studied politics at the University of Exeter before moving to London, where he pursued a musical theatre degree at the Arts Educational School. Although enrolled in a three-year programme, Young put his studies on hold in late 2001 to become a contestant on Pop Idol. After winning the competition the following year, he released his debut album From Now On (2002) which went to straight to number one. Friday's Child (2003) followed one year later and enjoyed greater popularity, eventually going platinum five times in the UK and spawning three top five singles. Achieving similar success, the album's successors include the multi-platinum Keep On (2005) and platinum Let It Go (2008) with his most recent release Echoes (2011) becoming his third UK number-one album.

Anything Is Possible (Atlantic 82167) is the third album by Debbie Gibson, released on November 20, 1990, under the Atlantic Records label. The album was Gibson's first album to not reach the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot Albums chart, peaking at #41 in the United States and sold much less than her previous two albums, Out of the Blue and Electric Youth, which both had gone multi-platinum. The album was still a minor success for Gibson and eventually was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. In Japan, the album reached #5 on the charts, achieving Gold status, thus becoming her most successful album in Japan. The album was released in March 1991 in the UK, but there it stalled at #69.Kevin Garnett is a noted fan of the album, and yells the title in moments of joy.
