"Promises" is a rock song by Irish band The Cranberries. It is the first single from the band's third album, Bury the Hatchet, released in 1999. The song would be the only single from the album to chart in the US and the last single before their hiatus. The song, which has heavy rock beat with strident lead guitar, deals with the divorce subject. A music video, directed by Olivier Dahan, was released to promote the single.
