It could be you! (6)

I believe the answer is:

anyone

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'be you' is the wordplay.
'be' becomes 'any' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'you' becomes 'one' (I've seen this before).
'any'+'one'='ANYONE'

'could' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for anyone that I've seen before include "Whoever" , "An unspecified person or persons" , "No particular person" , "Animal-hunting trip" , "Whosoever" .)
