Wikipedia article
"'Maybe'" is a single from American band N*E*R*D's second studio album, 'Fly or Die' (2004). The song features Lenny Kravitz on guitar and Questlove on drums. It peaked at number 25 in the United Kingdom, number 31 in Ireland, and number 34 in the Netherlands. The song was featured in an iPod commercial that also promoted the song.
A "Maybe" remix was released a year later in 2005 on rap duo Clipse's "We Got It 4 Cheap, Volume 2" mixtape. The song is a stylistic departure from the original song. The remix features Pharrell rapping over Outkast's "Elevators (Me & You)" instrumental.

Samplings
"Maybe" was sampled for Lupe Fiasco's song "...And He Gets the Girl," a non-album track that was released with the single "I Gotcha" from 'Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor' and was later announced that the track will be a bonus track to commemorate the album's fifth anniversary; however, the song did not make the reissue of Food & Liquor.
