Origin

In his 1980 interview with Playboy, Lennon described the song as "An effort at writing 'It Won't Be Long'. Same ilk: C to A minor, C to A minor—with me shouting."[2]

Lyrically, the song appears similar to the 1963, song, "All I've Got to Do" off the album, With the Beatles.[3]

Lennon's handwritten lyrics for "Any Time at All" were sold for £6,000 to an unidentified individual at an auction held at Sotheby's in London, on 8 April 1988.[4]

Recording

Incomplete when first brought into EMI Studios on Tuesday 2 June 1964,[5] Paul McCartney suggested an idea for the middle eight section based solely on chords, which was recorded with the intention of adding lyrics later. But by the time it was needed to be mixed, the middle eight was still without words and that is how it appears on the LP.[4] McCartney sings the second "Any time at all" in each chorus because Lennon couldn't reach the notes.[6] "Any Time at All" reprises a George Martin trick from "A Hard Day's Night" by using a piano solo echoed lightly note-for-note on guitar by George Harrison.[7]
