Promise To Be True is an unreleased song recorded in Summer 1983 at Prince's Kiowa Trail Home Studio in Chanhassen, MN, USA. It was intended for Vanity 6's planned second album. When Vanity left the group and decided not to participate in the Purple Rain movie, Prince instead began the group Apollonia 6. The song is not known to have been considered for the Apollonia 6 album.

The track was worked on further (or perhaps re-recorded) in early 1987, at Prince's Galpin Blvd Home Studio, Chanhassen, MN, USA, for use by American blues singer-songwriter Bonnie Raitt, during a short-lived collaboration between Prince and Raitt. It is not clear if she recorded lead vocals for the track, however. The track remains unreleased.
