"Maybe" is a pop song performed by English singer Emma Bunton. The song was written by Bunton and Yak Bondy for her second solo album Free Me (2003). It was released in 2003 as the album's second single to moderate success on different record charts, and it entered the top forty on the majority of which it appeared on. The song contains Motown influences. This song is favored by many, over Emma Bunton's other songs. The song actually originated from the style and sound of The Aloof's "Rich Man's Frug". In late 2007/Early 2008, Emma performed an edit of the song as her solo performance on the 'Return Of The Spice Girls' tour.

Chart performance

"Maybe" was released in the UK on 13 October 2003. It debuted at number six on the UK Singles Chart and although it did not reach the top five as "Free Me" had, it outsold its predecessor and totalled 77,208 copies once it completed its chart run. In early 2004, "Maybe" began to receive airplay across Australia and Continental Europe, where it achieved top forty success and huge radio airplay, but it failed to emulate the major impact it had on the UK. The song failed to enter the Canadian Singles Chart and the BDS airplay chart, but it managed to frequently occupy the number one position on MuchMoreMusic's MMMTop10.com. Up until the end of the summer, it maintained a top ten position before it exited the chart. Early in January 2005, the song and its remix were solicited to U.S. radio. Both versions climbed to a peak position of number six on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play, which made it a success in nightclubs.

Music Video

In the summer of 2004, "Maybe" was released to music video (directed by Richard Weager)strongly inspired by "Sweet Charity" dance scene rotation throughout Canada.
