"Promises" was one of five singles the Presets pulled from Pacifica, the Australian electronic duo's third album, which Modular put out at home on 7 September 2012. Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes wrote and produced it between them, and most of the album came together in their own home studios, with extra drum sessions in Los Angeles alongside Joe Baressi and Sean Beavan and a final mix there with Tony Hoffer.

It was a long road. Writing started as early as 2009, the pair worked through as many as 30 songs, and only toward the end of 2011 did the bulk of the record fall into place. Triple J made Pacifica its Feature Album, and it was up for Australian Album of the Year at the 2012 J Awards.
