Contrasting from Phora’s previous single, “Fake Smiles 2,” “Promises” is a more upbeat song, over a simple and relatively slow guitar instrumental. In it, Phora talks about his similarities with his lover and his desires.

[Verse]
You got issues, I do too, hide my problems, just like you
All these questions, all these vices, they can't break what we've been through
You've been hurt before, I seen your heart on that floor, ayy
I know you need something different, you can't take no morе, ayy, look
I just wanna spend my time with you, ride through the city on the late night, ayy
First class trips 'round the world with you, I just wanna put you on the same flight, ooh
Runnin' through my mind, yeah, I miss what you taste like, ooh
Get you in my bed, yeah we gon' make love 'til the daylight
You've been on my mind, wanna give you all my time (Give you all my time)
I just wanna feel your touch, I just wanna see you shine (I just wanna see you shine)
I need you all the time, I need you all the time
I need you all the time (I need you all the time), yeah, oh-oh
Things you do, the things you said, I can't get you out of my head
All of them late night texts you sent, all of those lonely nights you spent
'Fore I had you, you was my friend, take my time, here 'til the end
When I'm with you, I be on ten, too turnt up when we in my bed
[Chorus]
You there when I wake up
Late nights with you make me wanna stay up
Love you down, I'm smearin' off your make up
You know we got history, promise not to change up
Promise not to switch on me, yeah, yeah
You there when I wake up
Late nights with you make me wanna stay up
Love you down, I'm smearin' off your make up
You know we got history, promise not to change up
Promise not to switch on me, yeah, yeah

You, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

Promise you'll always be on my side, yeah

Promise you'll never leave my side
Promise you'll always be on my side, yeah
