"Maybe" is a song by American singer Toni Braxton from her third studio album, The Heat (2000). It was released to urban adult contemporary radio in the United States on January 30, 2001, as the album's fourth and final single.

Music video

The music video for "Maybe", directed by Chris Robinson, remained unreleased as Braxton felt it was too risqué. The treatment saw Braxton arriving home from the 2001 Grammy Awards ceremony after winning the award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for "He Wasn't Man Enough". She enters in the infamous dress and begins to undress while a peeper (played by James C. Mathis III) looks in. Although the video was never released, Braxton shows a clip of the never-before-seen video on her DVD From Toni with Love: DVD Collection. A shortened clip featured in a television program was later uploaded onto YouTube with the unreleased video for "The Heat" following it.
