"Any Way That You Want Me" is a song written by Chip Taylor that was first released in September 1966 by Tina Mason as the B-side to her single "Finders Keepers".
Chip Taylor had previously written "Wild Thing", which had become an international hit for the Troggs earlier in 1966.
The B-side, "66-5-4-3-2-1", was written by lead vocalist Reg Presley and was originally called "I Know What You Want", but was changed following the controversy of the band's previous single "I Can't Control Myself".
[6] Penny Valentine for Disc and Music Echo described it as having "an insidiousness that makes it linger in your mind, not in the brash heavy-handed way of all the other Troggs successes, but in a subtle warm loving way.
[7] Melody Maker wrote that "although Reg Presley sings well – his vocal style seems to have undergone a startling change – and the arrangement is clever, the song isn't exactly earth shattering.
