"Promises " is a dance-pop song by English boy band Take That . Written by Gary Barlow and Graham Stack , it was released on 11 November 1991 as the second single from the band's debut album, Take That & Party (1992). It was his first single released after signing to RCA Records . It was a modest success, charting at number 38 on the UK Singles Chart .[2]
Critical reception [ edit ]
Alan Jones from Music Week described the track as a "well-performed, hook-laden pop song executed with more panache and credibility than most teen favourites can conjure up. This is definitely one to watch."[3] Simon Williams from NME said, "The synth-mungous likes of 'Once You've Tasted Love ' and 'Promises' are amiably crass hi-NRG rompalongs, sort of Kajagoogoo gone Italian House ."[4]
Music video [ edit ]
The music video for the song uses intercut clips of the band performing and rehearsing as well as showing the hysteria of Take That 's fans. It also shows a half-naked band member, unknown at the time, jumping out of a swimming pool. Robbie Williams said that person was him during an interview for the 2006 documentary Take That: For the Record . In August 2018 on an Instagram post,[5] Howard Donald revealed that it was he in that shot.
