I Swear — The Minions Lyrics

The Minions in Despicable Me 2, with "I Swear", repeated the form for the rock ballad first done by John Michael Montgomery back in 1993 and then by All-4-One.

It is an emotional touch song whose themes touch the emotions but with the characteristic lyrics that come with the Minions' undefined language. For instance, "I Swear" was translated as "Underwear," which totally brings a comic twist to the song, the supposed meaning of which should be a love ballad. This makes the whole song funny and unforgettable, such as a good incident like Gru and Lucy's wedding.

It is packed with thousands of nonsensical lyrics in Minionese, and it seems to keep mentioning the word "Underwear" to indicate something light and hilarious. The playful character of the song is urging the listener to be happy, to dance as if one does not care for the whole world, and to let the feeling of happiness rule over the soul. It actually underlines the idea of self-expression, individual image, and comfort in one's own skin. This way, in the movie, "I Swear" stands for unworried and cheerful behavior towards life, when the happiness and the now have to be celebrated.

The classic "I Swear," given new life with Minions, broadens the audience, adds comic relief, and brings humor and joy to the timeless message of commitment and love—a really shrewd adaptation, in which it shows the ability of Minions to make even the most heartfelt moments fun and really quirky. "I Swear" is definitely among the shining moments in Despicable Me 2, and fans of the franchise hold this song in high regard.
