Promise is the second studio album by English band Sade, released on 4 November 1985 by Epic Records.
The album's title comes from a letter from Adu's father where he refers to the "promise of hope" to recover from cancer.
Sade's second album improved on the performance of her debut, as "Sweetest Taboo" was a huge hit and "Never as Good as the First Time" landed in both the R&B and pop Top 20. She was once again the personification of cool, laid-back singing, seldom extending or embellishing lyrics, registering emotion, or projecting her voice. This demeanor made her more desirable in the minds of many fans and was perhaps the ultimate misapplication of the notion of sophistication. But this album topped the pop charts and eventually went triple platinum.
 The album spawned three singles, "Is It a Crime", "Never as Good as the First Time" and "The Sweetest Taboo".
