}} Swedish musician
Basshunter covered the song on his fifth studio album,
Bass Generation. The single was released on 30 November 2009. It was produced by Basshunter. "I Promised Myself" is two minutes and 38 seconds long and has a tempo of 150
beats per minute. Basshunter describing his cover of "I Promised Myself" said that it has similar setup to "
Now You're Gone" with improved
bass drums and
bassline and it is more
rhythmic. Grant Black from
BBC describing the song said that it has no sign of a verse, and it sounds like previous Basshunter songs. In his opinion song with this sentiment should not have a sniff of a dance backing but he also understood that Basshunter can't make songs without
bass. He appreciated that Basshunter really does try to sing, and he kind of pulls it off. Music video was released by
Hard2Beat Records on 15 October 2009. Anders Anderson was assistant director and Maz Makhani was camera operator. On 19 November, the Pete Hammond Remix was released. In the music video, Basshunter goes through all the trouble of finding
Aylar Lie after receiving a
voicemail from a friend telling him that he needs to get to the hospital. Whilst in the taxi to the hospital he looks out the window and then down at his phone in his hands that shows pictures of Aylar Lie and then recalls memories of them together. The taxi then gets stuck in traffic so Basshunter starts walking to the hospital. He then arrives at the hospital and asks where he can find Aylar and goes in search for her whilst remembering the last night he saw her. He finds the room, opens the door but then finds her with her ex-boyfriend, Lucas, from previous music videos.
