The song was a hit in Denmark in 2005 and 2006, peaking at number one on the Danish Airplay Chart. "No Promises" was the fourth-most-performed work by Danish songwriters in Denmark between 2000 and 2009 according to Danish performance-rights organisation KODA.[1] The song had international success in a Shayne Ward cover, peaking at number two in the UK in 2006.
