"Maybe Tonight" is a pop song written by Dave Bassett, Jess Cates and Lindy Robbins, produced by Bryon Jones and Adam Reily for Kate DeAraugo's first album A Place I've Never Been (2005). It was released as the album's first single on 28 November 2005 in Australia as a Maxi single. It was successful in her home country Australia, becoming her first number-one hit.
The video opens with DeAraugo staring out her bedroom window in the rain, before it cuts away to a shot of a young couple (DeAraugo and her partner in the past), sitting on a motel roof with an umbrella. The video continues to cut between the present and the past, until we see her partner in the present with his car broken down, then we see the young couple where the male has fallen of his bike and hurt his knee, then they kiss. DeAraugo's partner then tries to ring her on his mobile phone, however he drops it and it breaks apart, while at the same time she just tried to call him. The video continues to cut between the young couple, and DeAraugo waiting for her boyfriend, who is running in the street to her, and we then see she is staying at the same motel we saw the young couple in. We then also see DeAraugo in a glamarous brown dress with shoulder-length earrings, as well as a black dress, in front of a backdrop of paintings. Her partner finally arrives at her motel while she is reminiscing, and they embrace as the video fades out.
The song was released to Australian radio on 21 November 2005 and became the most added song to radio for that week. DeAraugo made an appearance on the Australian morning show Sunrise on 2 December 2005 performing the song live and she made in-store appearances to sign the single in Sydney, Melbourne and the Gold Coast. The CD maxi single featured the song along with a cover of the Alanis Morissette song "Ironic" she performed live on Australian Idol's "Up Close & Personal" special. "Maybe Tonight" reached number fifteen on the national Australian airplay chart.
