The Promise (Girls Aloud song)
"The Promise" is a single by British-Irish girl group Girls Aloud, taken from their fifth and final studio album Out of Control (2008).

The song was praised and appreciated by most contemporary music critics, who lauded the song despite considering it unusual for Girls Aloud. It was honoured as Song of the Year at the 2009 BRIT Awards, becoming Girls Aloud's first win at the ceremony, and was also nominated for PRS for Music's Most Performed Work at the 2010 Ivor Novello Awards as well as for Best Single at the 2008 Heat Awards. "The Promise" was also awarded the Popjustice £20 Music Prize, the band's fifth single to win the prize. Upon...
