Promise Ring Lyrics


[Ciara:]
To the beat
To the beat
To the beat
'cause I need
Everybody to the floor (why)
'cause this beat is sick (yeah)
It's time to rock (uh)
That's what it is
Tiffany is her name
Love is the game
The only way to play is with this promise ring

[Tiffany:]
Sometimes a girl needs to know that she's appreciated for all the things she does
With some sorta of token of love
'cause without it her young heart won't know (heart won't know)
And right then to my surprise
(He) pulled out a small velour box pink ribbon tied
I'm wondering what's inside
He opened it and then he replied

[Pre-Chorus:]
He said I promise not to hurt you, promise not to lie
Promise to befriend you and defend you with my life
I promise you forever, I promise you today
(He said) would you wear my promise ring
(I said yes)

[Chorus:]
If you break your promise we breaking up
Gotta couple things that I want
Walks in the park and sweet things
If I rock your promise ring
I could be pretty young thing (young thing)
You could become my king (my king)
I gotta have you by me
Yes, I'll rock your promise ring

Yes, I'll rock your promise, promise, promise ring
Yes, I'll rock your promise
Yes, I'll rock your promise ring
[Repeat]

[Tiffany:]
How in the world could a girl say no (no)
I knew it the moment he made my finger glow (glow)
It's good to know I'm who he chose (chose)
It was your heart he felt now it shows (now it shows)
You know when ya see me floss
No way it's gonna get loss (loss), I'll never take this off (off)
When I'm older and they call me by your name
I'll wear it on a chain
Long as I can hear you say

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Bridge - Ciara:]
Everybody get up rock
Rock to this beat

[Tiffany:]
My name is Tiffany

[Ciara:]
And you all know me

[Tiffany:]
All my girls with me, all the boys like me
Come correctly, with a promise ring
And you (and you), just might be my boo, my boo

Promise that you'll never let me go and boy I'll
Boy I'll wear your promise ring
All you have to do is say the word and boy I'll
Boy I'll wear your promise ring

Just let me know (just let me know, just let me know)
All you gotta do is just let me know (just let me know, just let me know)
You ain't going nowhere
I ain't going nowhere
I'll be on for sure but you gotta know that

[Chorus]

Promise Ring Song Meaning, Biblical Reference and Inspiration

Tiffany Evans' song "Promise Ring," featuring Ciara, is an R&B track exploring themes of young love, commitment, and the significance of symbolic gestures in a relationship. Released with an accompanying video on March 14, 2010, the song presents a narrative centered around a young woman receiving a promise ring from her partner and the mutual understanding that comes with accepting such a token. The track features Ciara setting the scene with an energetic introduction before Tiffany Evans takes over to recount the moment she was presented with the ring.

The song's meaning is clearly articulated through Tiffany's lyrics, detailing her need for appreciation and a tangible sign of affection. The partner responds by presenting a small box containing a promise ring and making explicit promises: not to hurt or lie, to be a friend and defender, and to commit forever and for today. Tiffany's acceptance is conditional, stating that breaking the promise means breaking up. The promise ring symbolizes not just affection but a set of defined expectations within the relationship, including shared activities and the hope of future progression ("You could become my king"). The ring is cherished as a constant reminder of the commitment.

In the context of faith, the concept of a promise resonates deeply with scripture. Verses like Proverbs 3:3 encourage keeping faithfulness and kindness bound around one's neck and written on the heart, relating to the idea of a tangible symbol of commitment. Psalm 15:4 speaks of the upright person who keeps their oath even when it hurts, highlighting the importance and weight of promises made. While "Promise Ring" focuses on romantic commitment, these scriptural principles underscore the broader significance placed on the spoken word and the covenant implied by a promise, suggesting that promises, regardless of context, carry an inherent expectation of truthfulness and endurance.
