Difference between fail, disappoint, and let down

Hi,

Can you tell me the differences between the three sentences?

I won't fail you.
I won't disappoint you.
I won't let you down.

Thanks

I am a US native English speaker, so I hope this helps! 'I won't fail you' involves one big task that you have to complete for another person. Ex: I'll bring back the magic flower to cure you!

'I won't disappoint you' involves expectations another person has of you. This sentence would be one you would say to a parent.
