anyone & any one
Recently, I came across a problem. Should we say “anyone of us” or “any one of us”? My teacher says we can only say “any one of us”, but I remember a Gareth Gate’s song named “anyone of us”? Which one is right? Thank you very much.

"Any one of us" is proper.

Any one of us. Singers can name their songs whatever they want.
