{{nihongo|"Yakusoku wa Iranai"|約束はいらない||lit. "No Need for Promises"}} is the first single by singer Maaya Sakamoto. Released on April 24, 1996, it was her debut single under composer Yoko Kanno. The song and "Tomodachi" appear in her debut anime, The Vision of Escaflowne. Both songs were included on Sakamoto's solo debut Grapefruit, with "Tomodachi" re-recorded in English as "My Best Friend."

In 2023, the song was sampled by JPEGMafia and Danny Brown on their song "Kingdom Hearts Key", (which features additional vocals by rapper Redveil), the ninth track off their collaborative album Scaring the Hoes.{{cite web |last1=Pearce |first1=Sheldon |title=JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown are here to blow up your function |url=https://www.npr.org/2023/04/14/1169820370/jpegmafia-danny-brown-scaring-the-hoes-review |website=NPR |access-date=January 30, 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250130034345/https://www.npr.org/2023/04/14/1169820370/jpegmafia-danny-brown-scaring-the-hoes-review |archive-date=January 30, 2025 |date=April 14, 2023}}{{cite web |title=Kingdom Hearts Key |url=https://www.whosampled.com/JPEGMAFIA/Kingdom-Hearts-Key/ |website=WhoSampled |access-date=30 January 2025}}
