Maybe (Enrique Iglesias song) explained
"Maybe" is a song written by Enrique Iglesias, Steve Morales, Kara DioGuardi, and David Siegel for Iglesias' second English-language album, Escape (2001). Iglesias stated in many interviews that the song was his favorite track from the album Escape. In 2002, the album was reissued with two new tracks, one of which was a reworking of the song dubbed the "Mark Taylor Mix". This version changed the song from a rhythmic piano based ballad into a slower guitar-driven song. This version of the song was released as the fifth single from the album.
"Maybe" caused minor controversy when Britney Spears debuted a new song during her Dream Within a Dream Tour called "My Love Was Always There", which features similar lyrics to the chorus of Iglesias's "Maybe" as well as the same melody throughout the song.[1] The single was released on 18 November 2002, reaching number one in Romania and becoming a top-40 hit in Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
