"Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind" is a song by the American singer/songwriter Stevie Nicks. It served as the lead single to Nicks' fifth studio album Street Angel (1994), and was released on May 23, 1994 via Modern Records. "Blue Denim" had originally been slated as the lead single before it was changed to this song. In Europe, the song was serviced to radio stations after "Blue Denim" and released under the truncated titled of "Maybe Love".
"Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind" peaked at No. 57 on the Billboard Hot 100 and also reached the top ten in Canada. In the UK, the single was released on 4 July 1994 and later peaked at No. 42. Although it was included on her "Street Angel" tour set list, it was not included on any of Nicks' compilations until Stand Back (2019) and was scarcely mentioned again by the artist.
Critical reception Larry Flick of Billboard characterized the "Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind" as a "breezy, finger poppin' pop gem" and anticipated that the song would be "light enough to make the grade at top 40 and AC formats." Kara Manning of Rolling Stone called it "one of Nicks' best songs in years." Knight Ridder newspaper called the song a "charmer, thanks to Nicks' relaxed vocals and its seizing and chipper pop-rock nature."
