Maggie Szabo Goes Viral On TikTok With New Single “Maybe One Day”
For an artist whose career has already generated hundreds of millions of streams, countless songs on TV & Film, and a #1 Billboard Record, Maggie Szabo could easily continue relying on a formula that works. Instead, her latest release, “Maybe One Day,” finds the Canadian-born singer-songwriter taking a more personal creative approach, one that places lived experience at the center of her songwriting and allows listeners a deeper look into the emotions that inspire her work.
Released on May 29, “Maybe One Day” showcases the qualities that have made Szabo a standout voice in contemporary pop while signaling an exciting new direction for her music. Built around themes of love, loss, and hope, the song explores the lingering emotions that often remain long after a relationship has changed or ended. Rather than offering neat conclusions, Szabo leans into the uncertainty that follows life’s most meaningful connections, capturing the complicated space between acceptance and possibility.
Originally from Hamilton, Ontario, and now based in Los Angeles, Szabo has spent years establishing herself as both a songwriter and recording artist. A multi-platinum songwriter and two-time Billboard #1 writer, her catalog has amassed more than 500 million streams worldwide. Her music has been featured in campaigns for major brands including Apple, T-Mobile, Bumble, and Microsoft, while her songs have appeared across film and television projects for Netflix, ABC, NBC, and other major networks. As an independent artist, she has also cultivated an audience of more than 400,000 monthly Spotify listeners, demonstrating that a dedicated fanbase can be built through consistency, strong songwriting, and a genuine connection with listeners.
Despite those accomplishments, “Maybe One Day” feels less concerned with career milestones and more focused on the emotions that inspired its creation. This could be the reason it’s resonating on TikTok with the youth. Since its release, there have been 100’s of posts on TikTok, which is a strong early sign for virality on the platform. This is most likely sparked by the single landing one of the biggest Pop Editorials on Spotify.
Musically, “Maybe One Day” balances contemporary pop production with the soulful vocal delivery that has become one of Szabo’s trademarks. Co-produced by Szabo and Jayme Silverstein, the record is a polished pop/dance record while maintaining a sense of warmth and immediacy. The arrangement creates space for both the lyrics and vocal performance to take center stage, allowing the emotional core of the song to remain fully intact. Every production choice feels purposeful, supporting the story rather than competing with it.
According to Szabo, “Maybe One Day” was written alone in her studio during a period of personal reflection. The writing process became therapeutic, giving her the opportunity to process emotions through music and transform those experiences into something meaningful. That private setting is reflected in the finished record, which carries a conversational quality that makes listeners feel as though they are hearing thoughts that might otherwise have remained unspoken.
