这首歌是Jhameel即将发行的专辑《Black Velvet》的其中一首，由于这首歌非常强有力而且包含很多信息内容，所以被选为单曲发行。副歌部分高呼“残破的诺言”，表达出整个现代美国经济和社会的不平等。Broken Promises is a song that was written for Jhameel's upcoming album,"Black Velvet," but was chosen as its own single because of its powerfully relevant message. The chorus chants"broken promises" in a call for recognition of economic and social inequality throughout modern day America
