[edit] Chart performance

"Maybe" was released in the UK on October 13, 2003. It debuted at number six on the UK Top 75 Singles and although it did not reach the top five as "Free Me" had, it outsold its predecessor and totalled 80,000 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.

In the summer of 2004, "Maybe" was released to music video (directed by Richard Weager) rotation throughout Canada. Although the song failed to enter the Canada Top 50 Singles and the BDS airplay chart, 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.
