Words that rhyme with Anything
Most songwriters treat anything as a low-register anchor, but the phonology underneath matters: three-syllable, vowel on the tight /ษช/, ending that trails through a nasal hum. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. From the rhyme-data side: nothing matches this word strictly, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. From the lyric side, it works as a quotidian anchor. The contemporary ear forgives โ and prefers โ the assonance matches here.

Why anything rhymes the way it does
Anything is built around the clipped /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's three-syllable and ends on a humming nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 10, assonance 10,986, and consonance 0. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Anything works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
