Maybe

"Maybe" is a song performed by all-female German pop group No Angels. It was written and composed by Pelle Ankarberg, Niclas Molinder, Maryann Morgan, and Joacim Persson and originally recorded by American-Norwegian pop singer Trine Rein, featuring strings by violinist Andreas Ljones. An uplifting pop rock song that features a heavy guitar riff sample, it incorporates an uncredited sample of The Beatles' 1969 number-one record "Come Together", while its lyrics revolve around relationship that is built upon contingence and hesitancy. In October 2006, Rein and Ljones qualified for the Melodi Grand Prix 2007 with the song, the television show in which the Norwegian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 was chosen. It eventually finished the contest in the final round, losing to Guri Schanke's "Ven a bailar conmigo". The same year, "Maybe" was also recorded by the re-formed No Angels for their fourth studio album, Destiny (2007). Produced by frequent collaborators Twin from Redfly Music, it was selected as album's second single and released on 15 June 2007 in German-speaking Europe, where it reached number 36 on the German Singles Chart and number 62 on the Ö3 Austria Top 40 chart, becoming one of the band's lowest-charting single up to then. Background "Maybe" was written by Redfly production members Pelle Ankarberg, Niclas Molinder, Joacim Persson and British songwriter Maryanne Morgan, and actually offered to Norwegian pop singer Trine Rein, who recorded the song in mid-2006 for her unreleased studio album. Violinist Andreas Ljones contributed additional fiddle music to Rein's version which was picked for her participation in the Melodi Grand Prix 2007, the Norwegian pre-selection of the Eurovision Song Contest. Chosen out of a total of 464 songs, it eventually made the final selection of the eighteen participating entries. While the song failed to succeed on the semi-finals, it eventually made the second chance round, before dashing once again in the final round on 10 February 2007, losing to Guri Schanke's "Ven a bailar conmigo" which would later place 18th in a field of 28 and failed to qualify Norway for the final. After No Angels' secret reunion in mid-2006, Redfly offered the band to re-recorded the song for fourth studio album Destiny, having previously contributed to their 2003 studio album Pure as well as several solo projects.
