After releasing a series of moderately successful mixtapes between 2010 and 2011, Future signed a major label deal with Epic Records and fellow American rapper Rocko's A1 Recordings, which helped launch his own label imprint Freebandz. Future subsequently began working on his debut studio album "Pluto," and in April 2012 released the album to positive reviews. The album spawned five singles, all of which charted on the Billboard Hot 100. The album was later re-released in November, as "Pluto 3D." His second studio album "Honest," was released on April 22, 2014, and is also performing with his group Freeband Gang. He released his highly anticipated third studio album, "DS2," on July 16, 2015. The Atlanta rapper also released several mixtapes during 2015, "Beast Mode" in January, "56 Nights" in March, and "What a Time to Be Alive (with Drake)" in September. Future released "Purple Reign" in January 2016. The 13-track mixtape was executive produced by Metro Boomin and DJ Esco, with additional production from Southside, Zaytoven, and more.

"Promise U That" by Future is a song about his luxurious lifestyle and his confidence. The first two lines of Future's verse express that the song is not just talk, but rather he is confident in his lifestyle and his worth. He flirts with a girl calling her a "bad lil' bitch" and tells her not to worry about anything. Tay Keith's production is heavily present in the chorus, accentuated by the repetition of "I can promise you that" in a boastful manner.
Cartier diamonds are mentioned throughout the song, serving as Future's mascot, which plays into his lavish lifestyle. He tells a girl that she'll leave in a private plane despite arriving in a car. The chorus is a promise of what Future can offer, mentioning that he's never met anyone richer or more fly than himself. He also alludes to his reputation for being cocky, but he doesn't think he's cocky enough.
The song is ultimately about Future's confidence and the luxuries that come with his wealth. "Promise U That" also serves as an introduction to the rapper's lavish lifestyle and reaffirms his status as a prominent figure in the music industry.
