"This I Promise You" is a song by 'N Sync, released as the third single (the fourth in some countries) from their second album, No Strings Attached, in 2000. The song was composed by pop singer Richard Marx, who would later record the song himself for the Japanese release of his album, Days in Avalon.
The song is a ballad with lead vocals sung by JC Chasez and Justin Timberlake.
"This I Promise You" was the group's fifth top-ten single in the U.S., reaching number five on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the autumn of 2000. In addition, the song spent 13 weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart, the group's first song to do so.[1] The single was less successful internationally, reaching number 21 on the UK Singles Chart and failing to make the top 20 in Australia.

[edit] Music video
The video, directed by Dave Meyers, shows the group clad in turtlenecks singing in a forest, with different shots of different love relationships being shown in bubbles floating around the forest. At the key change, the video switches to the group sitting at a table at an outdoor eatery, with little girls blowing bubbles around.
The video debut on TRL October 27, 2000.
MadTV spoofed the video on December 16, 2000, with "This We Promise You", mocking and exaggerating the group's clean-cut image.
