My Promise is the debut album by a German pop band No Mercy, released in 1996.[2] It is the band's most successful album and contains all of their international hits: "Missing", "Where Do You Go", "When I Die", "Please Don't Go" and "Kiss You All Over".
The album was released in North America as No Mercy, which had a different cover as well as a different track listing.
from Billboard viewed the album as "an engaging set", noting that producer Frank Farian "keeps the set relentlessly bright and rife with fluttering flamenco guitars—save for the brooding ballad "When I Die", which allows singer Marty Cintron to fully flex his boyish, star-powered charm." He added, "Knee-deep with potential hits, the album's next logical single should be either the giddy rendition of Exile's "Kiss You All Over" or the spirited "Don't Make Me Live Without You"." British magazine Music Week wrote, "Lively Latin numbers and luscious love songs, most underpinned by flamenco guitar, are assembled for a pleasing debut."[3]
