I Promise also known as the MySpace Album is a 2006 album by Chinese-American rapper Jin. It was released on November 1, 2006
It is his third official CD and was sold through MySpace.com only. It became available on November 1 to November 27 for his fans on MySpace. [1] People who ordered the album on those days got the album just in time for Christmas and specially autographed by Jin himself writing "PEACE JIN". It was then sold on CDBaby.com with limited copies being pressed and not autographed for people who were unable to purchase it before. Jin claims his reasons for selling it through MySpace only is because people don't buy CDs in the stores anymore. On top of that he wanted to avoid the hassles of putting the record in stores and get it to the public before the end of 2006. The first single from the CD is "36-24-36 (Applebottom Jeans)" and the project was executive produced by Roy P. Perez© .

In the first decade of the 21st century, the rise of digital media on the internet and computers as a central and primary means to record, distribute, store, and play music caused widespread economic changes in the music industry. The rise of digital media with high-speed internet access fundamentally changed the relationships between artists, record companies, promoters, retail music stores, the technology industry, and consumers. The rise of digital music consumption options contributed to several fundamental changes in consumption. One significant change in the music industry was the remarkable decline of conventional album sales on CD and vinyl. With the à la carte sales models increasing in popularity, consumers no longer downloaded entire albums but rather chose single songs.
