"I Swear" is a ballad that became a hit for two acts in 1994. Initially it was a number one song on the U.S. Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart for John Michael Montgomery. His version crossed over to pop radio and climbed to number forty two on the Billboard Hot 100.
Several months later, R&B vocal quartet All-4-One recorded their own version with producer David Foster. All-4-One's version hit number one on the Hot 100 and remained there for eleven consecutive weeks.
Eleven years later, Swedish singers Lotta Engberg and Jarl Carlsson covered the song as a duet in Swedish, as "Idag", on their 2005 album "Kvinna & man".
