Cyndi Lauper's 1987 single Maybe He'll Know was the fifth and final single off of True Colors, and was released only in Holland. It is a remake of a song that Lauper did with her former band, Blue Angel. The two versions are slightly different lyrically in a few lines. Billy Joel joins Lauper in backup vocal duties.

The Blue Angel version of the song appears in the movie 200 Cigarettes after a quarter when the one annoying "dog shit" girl is in the dingy public restroom.

A remix of "Maybe He'll Know" - presumably created with the intention of single release in the U.S. - surfaced as the b-side to Lauper's "I Drove All Night."
