Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Promises" by LUHAN express the theme of a young love that went through some difficult times and questions about whether it's worth the effort to keep it going or not. The lyrics address the struggles that come with balancing one's own feelings for someone and societal expectations. The song talks about how young love can be fleeting and even though it might seem like the end of the world to break up or move on, there is still hope for the future. LUHAN assures his significant other that he will keep his promise to stand by them as they navigate these challenges together.

The chorus "My love, we need time to confirm, please trust me, I'll promise to you" captures the essence of the song's message. It's a plea for trust and understanding in a relationship that is going through some difficulties but with the right amount of commitment can be saved. LUHAN's heartfelt delivery of the lyrics adds to the emotional weight of the song and makes it easy for the listener to connect with the message.
