The song was written and produced by Alison Goldfrapp and William Owen Gregory, with additional production coming from The Haxan Cloak and John Congleton.

[1] A CD single featuring the radio edit and album version of the song was also released exclusively in the United Kingdom.

[3] On 24 February 2017, Mute Records issued a digital EP that included four remixes of "Anymore" created by disc jockeys Danny Dove and Joe Goddard.

[6][7] In addition, it has also been described by Vanyaland's Michael Marotta as a synth-pop song that takes influence from the disco and glitch genres,[8] which Eugenie Johnson from DIY considered as the group cementing their position in the "electronic territory".

[11] Anna Gaca from Spin compared its dance-styled production to the group's 2003 album Black Cherry and early Madonna songs.

[14][15][16] David Chiu from Consequence of Sound described the song as an "outstanding opening track" for "fans who have been waiting for Goldfrapp to somehow get back to their dance club roots".

[17] A group of critics from PopMatters reviewed the recording in their "Singles Going Steady" column; Adriane Pontecorvo from the publication stated that although it "isn't breaking any barriers", it "makes no apologies" and "promises a good time".

In the clip, Goldfrapp and a group of female dancers perform choreography in the desert; according to Ben Kaye from Consequence of Sound, the setting of the video "evokes a strange anxiety" in the viewer due to the "emptiness" of the surroundings.
