Promise features a vibrant yet soulful sonic backdrop crafted by Kimeraa, perfectly capturing the raw vulnerability of a woman consumed by love, where affection is not merely a desire but a fundamental necessity. Akanksha’s vocals soar as she lays bare her deepest longing: a lifetime of steadfast love, pleading with her partner to honour the pledges he once made.

Akanksha shared her insights on the release, “Promise is one of my most experimental tracks so far. It marries a dark, moody soundscape with romantic, heartfelt lyrics — a combination that felt unusual yet exciting to explore. I’m constantly striving to push my musical boundaries, and with this song, I wanted to reveal a different facet of my artistry. The melody came to me quite spontaneously, and Kimeraa instantly grasped my vision for the production. Rehan’s lyrics then tied everything together seamlessly. I truly hope people connect with this new sound and continue to support my music.”

The single is now available on all major streaming platforms, with a track visualiser soon to be released on Akanksha’s official YouTube channel. Promise is a testament to Akanksha’s evolved artistry — bold in its sound, rich in emotion and fearless in spirit. The track stands as a powerful declaration of love’s enduring strength and permanence, adorned with lush melodies and commanding vocals.
