"Anyone Else but You" is a song by the indie rock duo the Moldy Peaches, first released on their 2001 self-titled album. The song achieved wider popularity after being featured on the soundtrack of the 2007 film Juno, along with several other songs by Kimya Dawson that she wrote for her toddler.[1] A version is also performed by the two main characters (Elliot Page and Michael Cera) at the end of the film.[2] The Page and Cera version of the song was a minor chart success in the United States, reaching #91 on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 2008.[3]
