I won't go back on you. I'm familiar with "go back on your word". What does "go back on you" mean here? Does it have the same meaning (keep my promise), or is it more like I won't disappoint you?Don't worry. I made you a promise. I won't go back on you.

Re: I won't go back on you. Yes, exactly. The context specifies that meaning.
