I Promise You
Selena Gomez & the Scene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That my love for
You is real
It's somethin' true
That we do
Just somethin' natural
That I feel
When you walk in the room
I feel my heart skips a beat
The whole world disappears
And there's just you and me
Falling head over feet
Let's take a chance, together
I know, I know, I know, I know,
We're gonna make it
'Cause no one else can
Make me feel the way that you do
I promise you
I know, I know, I know, I know,
We're gonna get there
Today, tomorrow,
And forever we will stay true
I promise you
They say,
That we're just too young to know,
But I'm sure heart and soul
That I'm never letting you go
When it's right, it's right
And this is it
'Cause I'm walking on air
Every single time that we kiss
You make the angels sing
You give the songbird wings
You make everything better
I know, I know, I know, I know,
We're gonna make it
'Cause no one else can
Make me feel the way that you do
I promise you
I know, I know, I know, I know,
We're gonna get there
Today, tomorrow,
And forever we will stay true
I promise you
I'll never let you down
I'll always hear you out
There is nothing you can not confide
Come and fight
You listen when I speak
You make my knees go weak
And I just want you by side
I know, I know, I know, I know,
We're gonna make it
'Cause no one else can
Make me feel the way that you do
I promise you
I know, I know, I know, I know,
We're gonna get there
Today, tomorrow,
And forever we will stay true
I promise you
We're gonna make
I promise you, yeah, yeah, yeah
I promise you
I promise you
I promise you
In "I Promise You," Selena Gomez & the Scene sing about their love for someone and how they know it's real. They describe the feeling of their heart skipping a beat and the world disappearing when that person walks in the room. They believe that they will make it and nobody else can make them feel the way that their significant other does. They promise to never let them down and to always be there to listen and support them.
The song tackles the theme of young love and how people may underestimate the intensity of the feelings that can arise at a young age. It's a sentiment that many can relate to; often, songs about romance focus on the heartbreak or tumultuous periods, but "I Promise You" is a straightforward declaration of love and a reminder that young love can be just as powerful and real as love later in life. It's a hopeful ballad that sticks to the theme of the album it was released on, When the Sun Goes Down, that encourages people to seize the moment and take chances.
