Btw if any newer EXO fans don't know, that "birthday" line Suho sings is often overlooked but it has a very special meaning. It's referencing one of 3 concerts they held in Seoul, in may 2014, for their very first tour. The first of the former EXO-M members had just ditched the group and was suing SM, just days after their Overdose comeback and 2 weeks before their first ever concert, and EXO members found themselves in the middle of a massive hate and gossip storm. During that concert, on Suho's birthday, the 11 members present celebrated with a cake and everything, and spoke from the heart to the fans. Suho, being the leader, was especially strained during this period of time, so I'm sure that moment had great significance to him, so much that it was immortalized in the lyrics.

[@mylesscfJ]

Thank you.

[@lysleilla2432]

Thx eri

[@ghaedam8737]

Thank you I didn't know that

[@bluetimee7165]

not new exo-l and i know about this. but remembering those times makes me so emotional again

[@yayaya8690]

Yes. Everytime when I heard that line my head would always be remembered when suho celebrated his birthday on that date on stage with fans 🥹

[@danielasanchez5913]

This song in live is better.

[@ahmadhudzaifah8575]

all exo songs are better in live

[@subilynnoweight2090]

Promise is a very precious and cherished song for us EXOLS because it's a song made by Lay, Chanyeol and chen helped translate it into Korean dedicated for their fans as an apology and promise to never again break their promise (slogan-WE ARE ONE) due to the 3 Chinese members who left the group and caused conflict and pain amongst the fandom. They will keep their promise of being together as EXO. However eris don't blame EXO for the members who left the group because it's caused by the company for the lack of fair treatment, overly worked and biased when it comes to opportunities. Ps. Even though Lay has left SM entertainment but he is still a part of EXO as clarified in his post in IG in his letter, hence keeping still his promise and in the past years he also didn't leave EXO regardless of all the countless and better Chinese company Contracts being offered to him, he refused all of them knowing he created this promise and now he has his very own entertainment company to run 😊

[@starofthedawn8283]

Sorry if I sound a bit petty but as someone who was there, Chen DID NOT 'translate' the song into korean ver. the lyrics was FIRST written in korean by him because Lay was hesitant how to put out his messages If you look at old exoluxion fancams, after performing the korean ver. of the song, tao even promised Lay to help writing the rap part for the chinese ver. (tao was a very talented rapper) and if you look at 2015 exo chinese concert, Lay said "wait a lil bit I'm preparing the chinese ver. for it" I bet y'all get that info from scarb videos but I promise it wasn't Chen who 'translate' them... Lay were sharing this song & ideas with the members & later Chen came to his room to help him for the lyrics maybe if I found the fancam I'll drop it here

[@starofthedawn8283]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmfXhpWwmqecldk this is what Lay said :- 0/55 " I said in the group chat if anybody has free time pls come to the studio... and then Chen came to help " 1/12 " at last, rap making was made by Chanyeol " 1/17 " tao, you're doing the chinese ver. right ? " 1/24 " I'm also preparing for the chinese ver. " * * *the numbers are for time stamp for the link*

[@Taengbba9exo]

Lay produced the entire song,Chen and Chanyeol helped him with the korean lyrics ♡

[@izatipinky]

i still crying while listening to this song. this song is really special to exols 😭❤️

[@tatyanicktheone7387]

I can't help crying every time 😭

[@woodstock8d]

Same...this is one of my favorite EXO song but I can't bring myself to listen to it cos it always reminds me of the sad moments 😭

[@sarahrahim5201]

True I can't stop crying when I listen it 😭

[@nindimeilani2152]

Me too😭😭

[@e_r_i_s2164]

Exactly!! Like i was literally in tears during this reaction 🥲

[@glorialopez-fv6of]

‘Promise’ is a song that you feel with your heart rather than listen with your ears. It is an open heart letter to a fandom who was reeling from the pain and confusion left behind after everything that happened. I myself wasn’t part of the EXO family back then as I joined in 2016 but I still feel the pain in the members’ voices. The lyrics break me every time because here they are apologizing for something they had no fault in and making such hard commitments to their fans while they were probably broken inside too! I really wish I could put them inside my pocket and protect them from all the haters. They really deserve all the best in the world ♥️

[@mahja4747]

I am also fan of them from 2020 but when I listen this song it always make me sad all those emotions hit hard deep inside 😭😭😭😭 and I am also glad that I know them, they are really special for me LOVE YOU EXO FOREVER ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ That is my promise to EXO.

[@tatyanicktheone7387]

🥺❤❤❤

[@arcccis]

You should listen to it live. Feelings and sounds touch the heart more

[@cosmos4000]

Up

[@amirairyani6838]

😢

[@aryaraisha8477]

I remember Lay got rejected multiple times for this song to release😭 Now I'm very thankful to him for not giving up recommended the managers and staffs to release Promise💕

[@ggigie]

It's almost impossible for EXO-L to listen to PROMISE without feeling quite emotional! The deep connection of EXO and EXO-L is embedded in every line of this special song.

[@nehashede1801]

it never fails to make me cry . whenever I listen to it it feels like someone cares for me and that my presence means something to them

[@fundazeynep178]

this song is a very precious song for EXO L this song is EXO's gift to us... this song will always be very special... EXO we are one, EXO let's love…

[@theexopolice3739]

It is indeed a soundtrack to EXO and EXOL’s life, our story, our love.

[@anakhasajith5080]

When you watch Live it’s soo Emotional. When u watch individual guides you will understand. This is the song made by Lay

[@brightalways5659]

This is song very special for EXO-L ... the melodies quite simple... but the massages are so deep.. they're like speak to the fans.. promise has another title 'Promise (EXO 2014'), the year's that very though for EXO and EXO-L. Thanks for your reaction.

[@RieSUNdesu]

I AM CRYING RIGHT NOW!!! Thank you so so much for the reaction. This song is very precious for EXO-L. WE ARE ONE!!!

[@narikami6]

Remember that time, I cried with them while they sang that song in concert. It was a time when 2 members left the group 🥺 and they almost broke, coz almost all fans and non fans used to say that exo is failed group, they won't success. It was heartbreaking 💔 From 7-8 years old Exol ~

[@Taengbba9exo]

I was resisting crying until the lyrics came out ☹️this song never fails to make me cry... Thinking about their feelings that year and what they went through. I love them so much

[@danielasanchez5913]

It's a beautiful song. EXO is amazing

[@kenzodior9630]

Watching the live version hits so hard. Especially Chanyeol's rap 😭

[@ForlifeNA]

Yes its live is really really special. And i watched it particularly for chanyeol bcz i saw a clip and it moved me. Live has such an intensity that draws you in and it is like your heart is sinking and words are piercing your heart.

[@halehnorouzi]

We cry with this song :") Chen, chanyeol and lay composed the music and wrote the lyrics♡

[@finegirlisgone4449]

Promise It's a song that means a lot to us EXO-LS❤️It's like a drawing song and something like that, that stays in our heart💗💗 EXO-LS we are one☝🏻👑🖤 We love and our heart with ot12 And even still ot9 We're going to love EXO forever when they're in the heart.

[@bhbosbb]

ot9

[@renmcm]

While I disagree with your opinion, I appreciate the reaction! For me this song is the whole package, lyrics, melody, vocals, everything. I wonder if they'll ever perform it live again... Excited for your reaction to the individual guides, btw!

[@DewdewDC]

You are right, this is like a soundtrack, it is the sound track to EXO and EXO-L at a certain point in time. Every time I hear it I tell myself not to cry - then Chanyeol's rap hits and I'm gone. The vocals and harmonies are everything, soaring with hope and togetherness. We don't forget: We Are One.

[@exolisa4471]

Thanks to Lay, Chen and Chanyeol for this song. I proud of being an EXOL

[@NurAzizah-hc6il]

Although I'm a new fan of EXO but when I know the stories about this song make me feel sad too.. Now, Lay isn't in SM anymore although still member of EXO, it make me sad again.. But I will always support EXO.. EXO saranghaja ❤️❤️❤️

[@halima-L-1485]

one of my favorite song and chanyeol rap everytime i listen always got goosebumps ' i love how you recognize the members voice before you begin the guide proud of you 👏👏👏👏👏

[@chansamone]

This song is so precious to EXO-Ls. The live performance is incredible. I think you can hear their passions and sincerity when listening to it.

[@walaa_elsyed]

The song is like magic, it renew my love for them again No matter what happens no matter How long am I going to wait for them I will be with you EXO 😭 Proud to be exo_l

[@halima-L-1485]

same here 🙋‍♀️😭😭😭

[@nataliah3243]

Honestly, by the time I got into EXO, it was already OT9, so I never felt that longing for the full group or went through the conflict of losing members. Even during their military service, I knew they'd be coming back. Even if Lay is not part of SM anymore, there are other groups that are still together even if the members are not under the same label. So I never felt the anguish of having beloved members disappear overnight permanently. I can imagine that OT12 EXO-Ls really feel this song. I was only able to understand the feeling a bit after watching clips of 2014 a.k.a. the Year of Hell. That, and Sing For You.

[@vanebenitez8314]

PROMISE IS ICONIC ♡

[@mariaceciliaalcido5055]

This song is very special for us exo-L they made it just express their feeling towards pain and happiness thru out the year ...promise exo weareone sarangja...

[@ira-sy3zr]

This song is a gift to us for the painful memories of that year and the fact that lay who composed the song and other exo members helped with the lyrics, this is a song that means a lot to exol

[@someone_existing4267]

This song has a special place in my heart ang many Exo-ls. This song is just so close to me and I love the way boys showed us their vulnerable side , because that is what a family do.

[@azphine2681]

sad backstory aside, i really think this song is a masterpiece. i also love the orchestra playing in the background, which gives it a sadder sound, and even if you didn't understand the backstory, i think we can all agree their vocals hold countless emotions in this song.

[@marwakassem1600]

This song is every exo-l's most precious song 🥺

[@xFnGemrs]

I love this song so much 🥺♥️

[@baradyab1427]

We are one ❤️ Forever and ever EXO❤️

[@arcccis]

Oh my God this song makes me want to cry I wrote to EXOL "Promise from EXO to EXOL"

[@tudahun4146]

It’s our time to cry Ls🥲🥲🥲

[@exo_trr]

😭😭

[@gyujaim1381]

Sorry. But this song is so special n precious for exo-l.

[@francoisdaureville323]

You know not everybody like the same things right?? He doest have to Force himself to like something

[@chocoritzz]

@@francoisdaureville323 they didn't say to like the song or mentioned to like it . but expressed how the song is special between exo and exols !!

[@francoisdaureville323]

@@chocoritzz he did in the video to he said that he undertand the the song is special to exo and lyrically is beautiful but musically just music wise he doesnt like it

[@chocoritzz]

@@francoisdaureville323 you are talking off topic I'm saying it's " special" towards exo and exols you're telling other topics.

[@annisaicha7937]

Actually, I'm not ready to listen to this song again but since you reacted to it, I can't help but do so. Thanks for making me in tears again ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[@selvikomalasari3719]

Please react to EXO "Promise" live concert in Japan (Channel : A Brazilian). Thank you.

[@shalimarborres5533]

Promise is the most precious and special exo song ever. I cant even listen to that full. It gets me everytime

[@milacruz3970]

I can't listen to this song without crying, let alone read the lyrics. Those hard times when we thought EXO was over for good but they said "no, we're gonna be here even if it's just one of us on stage" is what shaped EXO and EXO-L's relationship.

[@lovemeright5571]

Promise is my favorite song. Thanks Lay for writing this beautiful song

[@piliredondo2661]

Bring the tissues EXO L….. Our precious promise 💖

[@Heaven_Leen_here]

This made me cry every time..

[@soledadtroche7871]

i recommend you react to Guide To EXO's Lay, to be honest all of the members are worth to watch them but Lay is just... another kind of human(? dude is just unreal, o admire him a looooot

[@wafaaalazmi1779]

omg i adore this song 😭 u made me miss exo more and more

[@Daehoongu]

Promise always and would always have a very special place in my heart throughout the years. Its a song that never fails to make me feel like crying. It's a very nostalgic song I can't help when listening to it but to remember ot12... They were good days I remember repeatedly watching EXO showtime during those times. The sudden departure of kris followed by Luhan and then Tao give all of us back then a shock but this song however gathered our confused hearts and both comforted us and give us strength to remain by EXO's side. I consider this song like a national anthem to Exotics and EXO-Ls. This song is extremely beautiful and important to us so I'm glad you reacted to it as for the music it would grow on you if you listen to it more.

[@pcyeol2327]

Im still getting emotional over Promise even after how many years. It still makes me cry whenever i hear this song especially if it has the video of them singing this. This is really a special one to all EXO-Ls especially to those who were here since 2012 for EXO, indeed it would always have a special place in every EXO-L’s heart. And yes, Chanyeol’s part here really is very emotional. The reason why im thankful of him as a rapper because he raps his heart out and you could just feel it. All of EXO members are really great especially singing their hearts out, showing their emotions thru singing making you feel like you were part of it every single time. Gosh. So thankful i stan them. Anyway, thank you for reacting to this masterpiece.

[@CM-wr6pz]

Everytime I listen to this song as an EXOL I always cry! I miss my boys so much especially when I watch the live performances to this song I'm just all emotional

[@aerinickabyunpark5644]

This is Lay's composition. SM didnt accept it first.. a lot of heads didnt like it but they make way for them to ding it bcoz its for exol and the promise of stying forever after 3members left .thats why its an emotional song for us and exo. Its a masterpiece

[@ramiyaisrat2163]

And here I'm crying while watching his reaction.. This song is very special to our (EXOL's) heart

[@so3y_218]

The song that turned me into EXOL. This song will forever hold a special place in my heart. I was on my way to discovering them but this song was the one that changed my whole perspective of them and made me love them so much. I cried after reading the lyrics even though I didn't knew everything that they went through and I still tear up whenever i hear this

[@exo_trr]
