David Bowie’s "Do Anything You Say" backed with "Good Morning Girl", was released as a 7-inch vinyl single in the UK by Pye Records (catalog number 7N 17079) on April 1, 1966, produced by Tony Hatch with contributions from his backing band, The Buzz.
It was the first single solely credited to 'David Bowie', and was a smash hit worldwide, giving Bowie his first number one in 5 countries. A review published in Melody Maker by singer Dusty Springfield read: "I haven't got a clue who this is either, but I can see the effort that has gone into this record. It's nice. The sound is a bit messy." The song would later be included in the 1991 compilation Early On (1964–1966) and the 1999 reissue I Dig Everything: The 1966 Pye Singles. In a 2016 list ranking every Bowie single from worst to best, Ultimate Classic Rock placed "Do Anything You Say" at number 111 (out of 119).
