"A Promise" is the fourth single by Echo & the Bunnymen and was released on 10 July 1981.

It stayed on the UK Singles Chart for four weeks and peaked at number 49.

On the 7" disc, "Broke My Neck" is referred to as a "live" version but it is, in fact, an edit of the longer 12" studio version.

The Belgian release of the 7" contains the extra track "Do It Clean", which had previously been the b-side of 1980's "The Puppet" and would again be a b-side on 1984's "The Killing Moon".

All tracks written by Will Sergeant, Ian McCulloch, Les Pattinson, and Pete de Freitas.
