"I Swear" is a song written by Gary Baker and Frank J. Myers that became a hit for two acts in 1993 and 1994. First released in November 1993 as the first single from his album Kickin' It Up, it was a four week number-one single on the U.S. Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart for American country music artist John Michael Montgomery in February 1994. His version crossed over to pop radio and climbed to number 42 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Two months after Montgomery's version hit Number One, American R&B group All-4-One covered the song and became a number one hit in numerous countries. In Latin America it has been translated "Juraré" performed by the Costa Rican group Centinelas Vocal Band.[1] In 1998, the Mexican country band Caballo Dorado recorded a Spanish version called "Ya sé".

Content

The song is a ballad in which the narrator promises his significant other that he will always love them.

Music video

The music video was directed by Marc Ball and premiered in late 1993.

Several months after John Michael Montgomery had released his original version, All-4-One recorded their own version with record producer David Foster.

All-4-One's version hit number one in numerous countries, including the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S., where it remained for eleven consecutive weeks. It peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart, where it stayed for seven consecutive weeks, being held off number one by Wet Wet Wet's "Love Is All Around", which went on to spend 15 weeks at number one. This version spent a total of 18 weeks in the UK charts.

The All-4-One version of the song is slightly different to the original, in that the line "And when there's silver in your hair" from the second verse was replaced by "And when just the two of us are there." This version ranks number 88 on Billboards All-Time Top 100 Songs list.[4]

On May 9, 2016, All-4-One posted a video on YouTube recording a new version of the song with Montgomery.

Music video

A music video was produced to promote the single. It portrays the members of All-4-One hanging out on a rooftop singing interspersed with scenes with a young woman walking on the sidewalk below. They go down to walk and talk with her as they implore her not to leave. Ultimately, she says goodbye to each member before boarding a departing bus.
