This song, a cover version of the Al Green classic, has been a staple of Maxwell's live performances and now sees its official release as a studio rendition.


Producing in collaboration with Hod David and Shedrick Mitchell, Maxwell skillfully conveys timeless themes of love and reciprocity that are integral to the original song. The lyrics, "If I gave you my love, I tell you what I'd do, I'd expect a whole lotta love outta you," aptly symbolize the aspiration for mutual love and emphasize the importance of equal participation in fostering a gratifying relationship.


Employing the phrase "Simply Beautiful" repetitively, Maxwell expresses profound admiration and affection, portraying the love shared within the song as pure and unambiguous, free from complexity. Including lines such as "You gotta be good to me, I'm gonna be good to you" underscores the speaker's emphasis on mutual respect and kindness, reflecting a desire for a supportive and harmonious partnership.


In essence, Maxwell's rendition of "Simply Beautiful" articulates his longing for a reciprocal and loving relationship, emphasizing the splendor and contentment derived from mutually shared and appreciated love.
