Promises, Promises

A K-pop song with a little bit of hip-hop thrown in to create a unique song about the perils of dating a man who makes all the promises in the world, but never follows through. Gianna joins The Kay Tones on this fun song, bringing a message that is far too relevant for so many these days.

Lyrics

Ooooh na na na
Can someone please tell me
Why’s it always the same?
Do men think we are stupid?
Like it’s some kind of game?
Lure you in with their words
But it’s all just a disguise
When their mask falls down
And it was all a pack of lies
All your
Promises promises
So easy for you to make
Promises promises
But they’re always so fake
Promises promises
For once be a man
Promises promises
Just do what you plan
So damn tired of empty
Promises…
Mmmm hmmmm
The center of the world
Is how they make us feel
But they don’t really mean it
Nothing they say is real
Can’t you just be honest
And tell us something true
So we stop wasting time
And decide what to do
With your
Promises promises
So easy for you to make
Promises promises
But they’re always so fake
Promises promises
For once be a man
Promises promises
Just do what you plan
So damn tired of empty
Promises…
Mmmm hmmmm
It’s time to show not tell
We don’t have time for it
Put up or shut up now
Or I’m packing all your shit
I’m not here for your words
Only true actions will do
Cuz I’m tired of all the lies
Step up or I’m leavin’ you!
Forget those
Promises promises
So easy for you to make
Promises promises
But they’re always so fake
Promises promises
For once be a man
Promises promises
Just do what you plan
So damn tired of empty
Promises…
So do what you say you’ll do
Or I promise… I’m leaving you!
Promises promises
So easy for you to make
Promises promises
But they’re always so fake
Promises promises
For once be a man
Promises promises
Just do what you plan
You get one more chance
You better make it count
Follow through or else
I warn that no amount
Of promises promises
Will save you from me
I promise you promise you
Test me and see

Behind the Music

Composer’s Thoughts

It seems this is a bit of a pandemic with so many relationships these days. One person in the relationship simply loves making promises that they don’t follow through on. They’re all talk and no action. Female friends would often complain about this problem and, it struck me that there was a song in that complaint. What better way to address it than with both the K-Pop divas and the ultimate diva who calls people on their BS… Gianna. So I mixed a bit of K-Pop with hip-hop and this song was born.

The Kay Tones’ Yuna’s Thoughts

I got the chance to be the primary vocalist on this one, and it was so amazing. I have had an experience with this sort of behavior and so it was very heartfelt. Working with Gianna was so cool for us too. She is so amazing.

Gianna’s Thoughts

I got to add the little bit of rap break for this song, and it was very fun to do. It is the kind of song I like to do. Busting balls of low effort men is kinda my thing it seems. Heh.
