The single was released in Australia through Regular Records, on 7", 12" and maxi-cassette single formats.

The single peaked at #30 on the Australian singles chart in February 1986.[2][3] A remixed version by (Love) Tattoo was included on the Icehouse remix album Meltdown in 2002.[4] Two music videos were filmed to promote the single; the second of these was directed by Dieter Trattmann.

Trivia

Neil Peart of Rush has claimed in his memoirs "Roadshow - Landscape With Drums: a Concert Tour by Motorcycle" that "No Promises" was his favorite song during August of 1986:[12]

One week in August of '86, I went down to Newport with a group of friends from Toronto (the parking tag from Newport Yacht Club still hangs in my garage, and my favorite song at the time was "No Promises," by an Australian band called Icehouse-I remember playing it again and again as I drove my Porsche 911 convertible through the White Mountains of New Hampshire).

— Neil Peart, January 2006
