Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you break my heart?
Break this promise?
If the rain was coming, oh yeah
Would you break my heart?
Yeah
(If the rain)
If the rain was coming
Would you break my heart?
Break this promise?
If the rain was coming, oh yeah
Would you break my heart?
Oh yeah
(If the rain)
(If the rain, if rain, if rain)
In Tchami and Kaleem Taylor's song "Promesses," the lyrics revolve around a promise made between two individuals. The lyrics allude to the idea that if things were to become difficult, such as if a metaphorical rain was coming, would the other person break their promise, and ultimately break the other's heart. The repetition of the lines "If the rain was coming, Would you break my heart?" emphasizes the importance of this promise and highlights the insecurity and fear that comes with relying on somebody else. The lyrics build upon the idea that if the promise was to be broken, the individual's heart would be shattered, making the other person just as "broken" as they are.
The haunting melody and the lyrical content of the song convey a sense of vulnerability and longing, drawing in the listener and allowing them to connect with the emotions portrayed in the song. The lyrics depict a relationship based on trust and reliance, with a sense of apprehension brewing underneath the surface.
