The production of “Promises” was something of a surprise, having been publicized with only five days notice on Calvin’s and Sam’s social media accounts:
“Promises” is the third single from Harris as the lead artist in 2018, following “Nuh Ready Nuh Ready” and “One Kiss.” The song marks the first ti...
[Verse 1: Sam Smith]
Are you drunk enough
Not to judge what I'm doin’?
Are you high enough
To excuse that I'm ruined?
'Cause I’m ruined
Is it late enough
For you to come and stay over?
'Cause we're free to love
So tease me, ooh
[Chorus: Sam Smith & Jessie Reyez]
I make no promises, I can't do golden rings
But I'll give you everything (Tonight)
Magic is in the air, there ain't no science here
So come get your everything (Tonight)
I make no promises, I can't do golden rings
But I'll give you everything (Tonight)
Magic is in the air, there ain’t no science here
So come get your everything (Tonight)
[Post-Chorus: Sam Smith & Jessie Reyez]
Tonight
(Your everything tonight, uh)
[Verse 2: Sam Smith]
Is it loud enough?
’Cause my body is callin' for you, callin’ for you
I need someone
To do the things that I do, mhm
I'm heatin' up
Energy's takin’ control
I'm speedin' up
My heartbeat's dancin' alone
[Chorus: Sam Smith & Jessie Reyez]
I make no promises, I can't do golden rings
But I'll give you everything (Tonight)
Magic is in the air, there ain't no science here
So come get your everything (Tonight)
I make no promises, I can't do golden rings
But I'll give you everything (Tonight)
Magic is in the air, there ain't no science here
So come get your everything (Tonight)
[Post-Chorus: Sam Smith & Jessie Reyez]
Tonight
(Your everything tonight)
[Bridge: Sam Smith]
'Cause I need your green light
Day and night, say that you're mine
'Cause I need your green light
Day and night, say that you're mine
Say that you're mine
Say that you're mine
[Chorus: Sam Smith & Jessie Reyez]
I make no promises, I can't do golden rings
But I'll give you everything (Tonight)
Magic is in the air, there ain't no science here
So come get your everything (Tonight)
I make no promises, I can't do golden rings
But I'll give you everything (Tonight)
Magic is in the air, there ain't no science here
So come get your everything (Tonight)

Golden rings is a reference to marriage where rings are exchanged by the couple. Sam, however, is only offering casual sex, nothing deeper, but nonetheless a good time. ‘Magic is in the air’ suggests it is still a special relationship, even if only physical.
I was called a crooner for the first six years of my career. But then, after The Thrill of It All, I got in the studio with Calvin Harris and Jessie Reyez. Jessie poured us both a glass of whisky and we just started dancing around. Normally it would be like, ‘Sit down, let’s write a song. Let’s get...
