This was beautiful - EXO 엑소 - PROMISE live reaction

[@ladyreanreacts]

Promise is EXO's promise to EXO-L. It was during the times when members were leaving and everyone had a hard time. It was written by the members so it makes it extra special. It solidified the fanbase and made us stronger to tide through all the hardships we had and will face in the future.

[@music_muw.]

❤❤❤❤

[@Anonyme642]

Adding that it was written by Lay and it was one of the first song of his that got approved. He worked so hard just to get someone to hear it. Chanyeol and Chen took care of the translation to korean

[@sakuraseora]

This song was made by Lay when EXO still had 2 group units EXO-K and EXO-M. The Korean version's lyrics was written by Chen and the rap parts by Chanyeol. The Chinese version of the lyrics was written by Lay. Each has a different meaning because the Korean version of the song is for fans who continue to support EXO and the Chinese version of the song contains a message for the members who left the group. This song is also known as EXO 2014. I always cry when I hear this song because EXO's past is very bitter😢😢

[@ddsworld16]

I prefer the K version more coz its feel comforting.. i always cry if i hear the m version especially if i read the lyrics too.. its so sad and hurt my hearts although i never experience ot12 era😢

[@sweetestdelight]

EXO's Promise was composed by Lay, Chen and Chanyeol also helped with the translation and wrote the rap. EXO promised us that they will stay together forever but sadly, the members still left. 2014 is the saddest year for all of us. As a gift for their devoted fans-EXOL who stayed with EXO, they've given us this song as a promise of commitment and endless happiness. The song was criticized by their agency yet the perseverance of Lay made it possible and here we are, all emotional with this song. Later after that year, EXO acknowledged more the deepest love of Ls for them that even up to this day believes in us that we will always have their back; that we will protect each other and love as long as we live. This is not a typical idol-fan relationship, not one sided, Ls are always included in their plan/s. They always makes us feel that we matter. 💙 Again, thank you for reacting to this precious song. I hope it also gave you comfort.

[@NeonReactionsPierre]

It was really nice and deep.... loved it

[@mesozn6283]

Promise was exo gift for us during the hard times, it will forever hold a special place for us 🥺 Lay and the members participated in making it which makes it even mor special ❤

[@ying5322]

This is one of our anthems. The message this song carries is more than this song itself. Can't have dry eyes whenever I listen to it, so I won't easily touch it. Especially knowing this song was created by the members during that period, I can see myself holding the Eri bong in my 70s. Thanks for sharing the scene of your front yard. It's truly stunning!

[@NeonReactionsPierre]

thank you so much

[@nymmechannel3446]

Promise is for exo-Ls written by Lay. Chen and chanyeol wrote the Korean lyrics. It was an apology and a promise to exo-l when the former members left the group.

[@nurmalindak.sasake6706]

I Miss Lay Ge😭😭

[@jaudrey4630]

Lay wrote the song, there’s an interview that he said that he convinced SM to released the song. Then Chen translate it to korean and Chanyeol for the rap part. This is like promise to the fans that they will stay together after the other members left the group. There’s a video when Tao, the last member who left, was crying while his hand were up doing the L sign during the concert while the other members were singing the song. Suho saw it and cried too. 😭

[@tulanasom6818]

Promise is the soul of EXO and EXOLs.. I am in tears once again 😭😭😭😭😭 Thank you Lay, Chanyeol and Chen for such a beautiful song

[@yulioko1627]

Lay written this song and Chanyeol and Chen help to korean versus.. EXO has Chinese version of Promise too.. this song made for exol that exo feel sorry for what happen (some members leave the group) and promise it would never be happen again.. this song is just not a song for fans, we keep believe and stick together until now with exo

[@intankurniasari6456]

Thank you for reacting to this song. "PROMISE" is not just a song. "PROMISE is a song whose lyrics were written by Lay, Chanyeol and Chen... this is our promise. they went through dark times losing 3 members from China and because they didn't want to see EXOL drown in sadness they made this song for EXOL. *correct if wrong At that time they were still very young...you could see Kai crying, Baekhyun and Xiumin hiding their sadness as hard as they could. Chanyeol who expressed his emotions in his rapp.. All the members were sad and sang from the heart. but there was Suho's figure there, for some reason I felt sorry for him and really loved him as a leader, he fought hard all this time. Thank you EXO, you extraordinary human beings who really respect and love their fans. proud to be an EXOL❤

[@morin_eri]

PROMISE has a special spot in every EXO-L's heart. It was a "promise" to us.....a very comforting and assuring song. I just simply couldn't listen to this live version without crying. Thank youuuuuu. And I just wanna say that Baekhyunee sang the US' and South Korea's national anthem as SK's representative at MLB in Seoul. Please check that out❤❤❤

[@judycasley108]

So proud of Baekyun’s Star Spangled Banner!!

[@marthaacosta3919]

Have passed years and this song still makes me cry. It is one of the most beautiful songs made from a kpop group to their fans. ❤ lay and chanyeol are genius.

[@susandeguzman1280]

PROMISE is one of my favorite songs of EXO. Sometimes, I purposely avoid listening to the song or watch the video due to becoming too emotional. EXO themselves were getting too emotional and touched by the song. Same here ✋… same goes to EXO-L Promise is a beautiful song. Three members helped each other to come up with this beautiful song. It was composed by Lay, rap written by Chanyeol and the lyrics written by Chen. ❤

[@PrincessNana08]

Discovering exo was the first time i appreciated ballads so much

[@evilia.d.o7522]

Omg promise is very memorable for exol,, 😢,, this song always make me feel emotional🥲,,

[@zaharakhan1603]

You mentioned the window just as I noticed the sunlight pouring through it! That tree is beautiful in full blossom. It looks like a Magnolia tree :) Thank you for sharing the pic. It's a blessing to be surrounded by nature. As for the song, this is a very emotional song for EXO & EXOL. Even as a baby EXOL, I can feel the pain and healing conveyed by this song. As a fellow commenter said, it is our anthem ❤

[@NeonReactionsPierre]

:) :)

[@xoxocaiexo2769]

Hi. Thank you for reacting. EXO2014(Promise) is indeed a special and a tear jerker song for every EXOLs. 2014 is the toughest year for EXO and EXO Ls with the members' departure and all. EXO2014(Promise) was composed by Lay, lyrics written by Chen and rap written by Chanyeol. The Chinese version also has the members' participation in the production. This song is really meaningful because it's EXO's promise to EXO Ls which was clearly expressed through it's lyrics. You might also see some performances where some members are emotional while singing the song. 😭 Until now, I remember every word, even the rap part and it makes me emotional every single time.

[@KaiXingPeach09]

0:58 Beautiful 😍 I'm so glad you shared it with us, such a sweet gesture, thanks Pierre 🤗

[@NeonReactionsPierre]

glad you liked it :)

[@mylovememey4896]

Every time I listen & watch this song I'm always crying 😢, because I remember EXO & EXO-L, struggling when 3 Members leave EXO 😢 No other group is struggling more than EXO & EXO-L (2014,2017,2023)😢 PROMISE is the anthem song for EXO & EXO-L ❤❤

[@VenusRopui]

My favourite EXO Song. Thankyou for your reaction.

[@eriyascollection4828]

The Song Dedicated for Exo-L 🥺❤️

[@music_muw.]

I don’t like to see them cry because I feel sad after them, but I want them to cry with EXOL because they can accept that EXOL is always by their side and forever. We can recognize it every time they sing and every album will always have EXOL in it. Thank you Pierre for your reaction to EXO’s music.❤

[@eris3909]

What i like about Exo ballads is that, you can hear their distinct voices. Super good!

[@anakhasajith5080]

PROMISE has a Special place in EXO-Ls Heart🥹♥️

[@Katatskots]

[@halima-L-1485]

All members hold their emotions 😭 promise will always special to EXO and EXOLS

[@cosmiclatteerii]

Just play this song and you summon every exo-ls tears.

[@Tooba-K123]

Promise makes me emotional EVERYTIME, especially after knowing the backstory behind it. I'll always be thankful to Lay for composing this beautiful song. It'll always hold a special meaning in my heart ❤ this song is the anthem of Exo-L. By the way that Cherry Blossom Tree is really beautiful 😍

[@jollychowdhury1508]

i feel so proud while writing this comment,this song is composed by our lay , he wrote the lyrics in chinese too ,the korean lyrics was cowritten by him with chen and chanyeol . and this song is for exols offered as their promise . it released after the abrupt departure of a member followed by another member exiting with a lawsuit against the company. at that time everyone thought it was the end of exo. eventually exoM got dissolved after tao's departure. but the bounced back stronger and rest is history...

[@eleonorestuart4089]

Why EXO-L’s love EXO so much…they appreciate their fans!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@hanifahshobs]

Everytime I listen to this song, I'm crying. Never get old

[@woodstock8d]

Is that cherry blossom tree? It's so beautiful 🌸🌸🌸 "Promise" is an emotion song specially written for EXO-L... Chanyeol rap part always make me tears up 🥺🥺

[@littleheavenpg]

Lay composed this song but sm refused to use it for some time but he didn't get disappointed and kept insisting on it being qualified enough. Then once he showed it to a manager and things went smoother after that and they finally accepted it. And here it is, one of the moet favorite songs of most exols.

[@mashedpotato3291]

Our Zhang Yixing aka Lay made this song. i'm so proud of him. EXO delivered the song perfectly. like this is how you do it.

[@yellowsky614]

This is literally the song of Hope of both EXO and EXO-Ls

[@Karinaiswatching]

May I say a few words how almost painful it feels in my heart with all of fear, sorrow, love and caring in this words (so thank you Yixing, Chanyeol, Jongdae) and their eyes and voices. I’m tearing up or crying every (oh gosh) every time with this live. I just wish to be happy and healthy physically and mentally to them. I wish them appreciate and love themselves as much as we do. Thank you for your reactions to EXO (all of them and this especially). I llllloooooovvvvveeeee watching your journey with them. And I’m in love (yes, live again) with this view and cherry tree from your window. It’s so nice that you shared this to us. I’m interested in some of those typa things about you and your life, routing may be. It’s just feels like we are getting closer to each other🌿 Thank you for this little detail. Wish you a sunny happy day

[@dimar8507]

Gracias por la reacción Si es el encor del concierto, es una canción muy especial para EXO-L, porque ellos la escribieron y por el momento. Los otros chico habían dejado el grupo las demandas,, las lesiones. Además se puede sentir , la emoción con la que la cantan. Aveces cuando la escucho me hace llorar. Chanyeol es el mejor para el Rap. Saludos desde CDMX

[@christinegoodwin5036]

Ich bin jetzt seit 8 Jahren absoluter Exo Fan. Ich finde die sind einfach was Besonderes. Obwohl ich dieses Jahr 60 Jahre alt werde bin ich einfach von den Stimmen und Lieder total begeistert

[@Psiupsiugatinho]

I'm waiting for EXO - Universe album reaction too!!! Love your reactions!

[@DewdewDC]

Thank you for being so respectful to this song. This is so special to EXO-L. It both makes us feel sad, our hearts do ache, yet they also soar to know that EXO cared so much to respond to hard times by composing this song for us and singing it with all of their hearts. It inspires tears of sorrow for the hurt of the time and tears of pride. Such a special song.

[@mahdissadighi5289]

promise is a special song for exo_ls thanks for reacting to this song

[@danircr]

Listening to Promise always makes me cry, that's our promise, from Exo to us Exo-L and from Exo-L to Exo. I'll always be here.

[@mariaignaciasoto6142]

Promise is a really important song for the fandom... They released it at a time when they and EXO-L were living with a lot of pain. Some members had left the group, and we all felt a lot of uncertainty about the future. We got the impression that they felt partly responsible for not having been able to keep the group with the original composition, but they also felt grateful that despite We would continue to support them and be stronger than ever. The lyrics were written by them, and it means everything to us 💖

[@CheG1224]

Thanks for sharing the beautiful tree there from your window view. It reminds me of the cheery blossoms in Kyungsoo's drama 100 days my prince 😊❤ Promise never fails to make me love EXO more and more each time I watch them perform it. Its the same for me, its fun to see them dance and sing. I love their amazing stage in concerts but its a different kind of wonderful feeling when they just sit or stand and sing like this pouring their hearts out for the fans. So intimate and you can really feel the mutual sincere love and appreciation between EXO and EXOLs. ❤weareone❤

[@jae7891]

Thank for the picture of the magnolia tree! It’s gorgeous! As everyone else has said, this is a very special song for EXO-Ls and EXO. Another emotional song is Chanyeol’s solo stage of Hand. You will enjoy his rapping but find a video with the English subtitles. It will get you emotional, just like Promise.

[@lydiamanis7405]

This song doesn't fail to bring tears to my eyes.

This song I heard is about the fans but also the former members. The song is called Promise but another name for it is EXO 2014. That's the year that the Chinese members started leaving the group.

You know why it is special. Bcz it was written and sung by broken hearts. There is a video focusing on members. They were all crying. It was originally written by lay when Chinese members left and exo was facing hatred. Lay wrote it in chinese and composed it. His song was rejected(you have seen that in lay's guide) Lay told that he played it in his car, his manager heard the song and he loved it, he asked him to add it in their next album. Then lay asked from the members. They all liked it. So they had to do efforts. Chen translated it in korean and chanyeol added his rap part. I hope SM allows members to write such songs more often.

[@cathykhan8019]

Promise is a true testament to the mutual love, gratitude, and appreciation that is shared between EXO and EXO-Ls. My understanding is that the special lighting, in the stands, was a fan project. This is why you see EXO so in awe of the lit ocean spelling out EXO We Are One in this video. After making the initial promise of their slogan, it was not just a sound bite, but a genuine promise to their fan base that together ~ EXO and EXO-L were committed to each other. The loss of the Luhan, Chris, and eventually Tao blemished that original promise. This composition, with the participation of Lay, Chen, and Chanyeol, is an apology and an affirmation of their gratitude and appreciation that EXO-L has continued to support them. EXO's promise to be worthy of their support. The music, lyrics, and performance reveal how EXO cherishes EXO-L. Each of the comments illustrate the significance and impact that this song carries. This is such a raw and sincere song of love. ❤

I’ve never thought of this as a ballad. It’s just Promise. I think it’s important to most of us, but if you were a fan back then you felt exactly what they were saying and why, and how sincere it was. I wished they didn’t feel like they had to apologize for something they didn’t even do, but it did produce a beautiful song.

[@CosmicLatteEP]
