Promise Lyrics in English Romeo Santos , Usher

“Promise” unfolds like a passionate confession where love feels both intoxicating and perilous. Romeo Santos and Usher paint the picture of a man who has fallen so hard that his lover’s embrace becomes both his prison and his paradise. He admits he has lost all balance, comparing her body to a cell that willingly holds him captive. Beneath the steamy bachata rhythm lies a vulnerable plea: I want to be entirely yours, but I’m terrified you’ll leave me without your love. Every heartbeat, every gasp for air, every struggle to stay afloat echoes the fear that this all-consuming romance could vanish without warning.

Joined by Usher’s smooth R&B flavor, the song turns into a cross-cultural vow of eternal devotion. The pair trade lines that amplify the urgency of their promise: Hold me, touch me, love me way past forever. Metaphors of drowning, racing toward a finish line, and surviving only on a lover’s oxygen create a vivid sense of romantic urgency. “Promise” ultimately celebrates that dizzying moment when you surrender to love, entrusting your heart to someone else—in return for a single, unbreakable word: promise.
