Interesting facts and trivia about Promise (feat. Usher). By Songfacts®.

As the singer and chief songwriter for New York based group Aventura, Anthony "Romeo" Santos was a key figure in popularizing Bachata, a guitar based music that originated in the Dominican Republic. After seventeen years together, the quartet publicly confirmed it was breaking up for good in July 2011. This bilingual tune is the second single from Santos' solo debut album, Formula. The song is a duet with R&B singer Usher and was released to radio on September 2, 2011.

Longtime Usher collaborator Anthony Mandler directed the song's music video. The visual was a long shoot, taking 26 hours in total, but Santos learned a lot from the director. "He takes your story to another level visually," he said of Mandler to MTV News.

Formula debuted at #9 on the Billboard 200 in its debut week. Its 62,000 launch marked the biggest sales week of any Latin album for over four years. On the chart dated June 23, 2007, Daddy Yankee's El Cartel: the Big Boss, sold 82,000 in its first week.
