"The Promise" was the When In Rome's first single. When released in 1987, the 7" was initially a flop, but the 12" was a minor dance club hit. An album followed in mid-1988. Later that year, a reissue of the single became an international hit—"The Promise" entered the US Hot 100 for a 25-week run beginning on Sep. 3, 1988, peaking at #11 in December. It still fared poorly in the UK, though, only entering the chart at #86 on Jan. 14, 1989 for a 6-week run and peaking at #58 in February.

The original 7" mix became the album version. The original long version is called The Ollie North Mix or O.N. Mix, and the short instrumental is the Dub, or O.N. Dub. The Coliseum Mix (a.k.a. Coliseum Club Mix) and Vatican Dub were new mixes by Freddy Bastone for the 1988 re-release.

📚 SONG LYRICS "THE PROMISE" 👁⃤ (as performed by WHEN IN ROME)

If you need a friend
Don't look to a stranger
You know in the end
I'll always be there
And when you're in doubt
And when you're in danger
Take a look all around
And I'll be there

I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
(I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
(I promise you)
But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me
(I promise you)
I promise, I promise you, I will

When your day is through
And so is your temper
You know what to do
I'm gonna always be there
Sometimes if I shout
It's not what's intended
These words just come out
With no cross to bear

I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
(I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
(I promise you)
But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me
(I promise you)
I promise, I promise you

I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
(I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
(I promise you)
And if I had to walk the world I'd make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you I will
Gotta tell you
Need to tell you
Gotta tell you
I've gotta tell you

I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
(I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
(I promise you)
But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me
(I promise you)
I promise, I promise you

I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
(I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
(I promise you)
And if I had to walk the world I'd make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you I will

I will, I will
