"Maybe I Know" is an early 1960s pop song written by Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich and performed by Lesley Gore. The song was produced by Quincy Jones and arranged by Claus Ogerman.[3] It was featured on her 1964 album, Girl Talk.[4]
Background
The song was one in a long line of successful "Brill Building Sound" hits[2] created by composers and arrangers working in New York City's Brill Building at 1619 Broadway. Pop songwriting stars Barry and Greenwich had previously scored hits with songs such as "Be My Baby" and "Baby, I Love You" performed by The Ronettes, as well as "Then He Kissed Me" and "Da Doo Ron Ron" by The Crystals.
Billboard described the song as a "medium tempo rocker with fine dance beat."[5] Cash Box described it as "a handclappin' thumper geared for easy dancing and listening approval" and a "tuneful teen-angled vocal romp."[6]
Chart performance
"Maybe I Know" reached #14 on the Billboard Hot 100, #16 in Canada,[7] #20 in the United Kingdom, and #37 in Australia in 1964.[8]
