"I Don't Need Anything" is the twelfth single by 1960s British girl singer Sandie Shaw. Released in January 1967, this ballad was her first A-side since "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me" back in 1964 that was not written by Chris Andrews. The single gave Shaw her lowest UK chart placing to date at the time (Number 50) though potentially this was partly down to Shaw being involved in a divorce scandal at the time. Her previous two singles had also failed to make the Top 30 and as a result of this and the divorce scandal her management decided to attempt to push Shaw back into the limelight with a more cabaret feel and decided that she should be that year's UK entrant for the Eurovision Song Contest.
