"Maybe Someday" comes from Bloodflowers, the Cure's eleventh studio album, which appeared first in Japan on February 2, 2000, and then in Britain, Europe and the US later that month on Fiction and Polydor. The album had been finished by May 1999, but the label held it back until the millennium fever had passed. Robert Smith wrote the lyrics and shares the music credit with Simon Gallup, Perry Bamonte, Roger O'Donnell and Jason Cooper.

Then Smith dug his heels in. Still angry that the label had given the 1997 compilation Galore so little promotion, he refused to release any singles from Bloodflowers, overruling the company and later calling it revenge. So "Maybe Someday" slipped out the side door instead, going to radio as a promotional single in the UK, the US, Canada and much of Europe, alongside "Out of This World".
