Songfacts®:

• In "Maybe," Sienna Spiro comes to terms with a failed relationship and discovers her self-worth. "It's a song about realizing your worth," she said, "and finally seeing who somebody truly is after being in the dark for so long."
• Spiro didn't have to reach far for inspiration. "Maybe" was drawn directly from a real-life relationship that collapsed under a cocktail of pain and confusion. You can hear it in her voice: the disbelief, the bruised pride, the bittersweet relief. It's the kind of emotional territory Taylor Swift once mapped on "All Too Well" and Adele visited on "Turning Tables."
• Spiro wrote "Maybe" with the song's producers, Max Wolfgang and Sol Was.
  
  Max Wolfgang co-penned Sam Ryder's "Space Man," which finished second on Eurovision 2022. He is a longtime creative partner of Olivia Dean, co-writing seven of her The Art of Loving tracks.
  
  Sol Was' other credits include Beyonce's "Summer Renaissance."
• The lush string arrangement on "Maybe" was composed by Anna Phoebe, a renowned multi-genre string arranger whose credits include working with Alt-J and classical ensembles.
• Released as Spiro's second single on August 2, 2024, "Maybe" quickly found its footing and then sprinted. By early 2025, it had racked up over 72 million Spotify streams and gone viral across platforms.
• Ironically, Spiro almost didn't release "Maybe." She told Attwood magazine she "hated the person I wrote it about" and initially shelved the song because it felt too raw, too personal, until friends and early fans convinced her otherwise after she posted a snippet online.
  
  And then came something Spiro didn't expect: listeners began writing to her about their own stories, some light, some dark. "I got so many messages from women about domestic abuse," she said. "It was so eye-opening... I just couldn't believe that something I wrote had that effect."
