About Surrender

"Surrender" is a single by Cheap Trick released in June 1978 from the album Heaven Tonight. It was the first Cheap Trick single to enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number 62. Its success in Japan, as well as the success of its preceding singles "Clock Strikes Ten" and "I Want You to Want Me", paved the way for Cheap Trick's famous concerts at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo in April 1978 that were recorded for the group's most popular album Cheap Trick at Budokan. The song originates from 1976, as like many other Cheap Trick songs it was played in concert before its release. Rolling Stone deemed it "the ultimate Seventies teen anthem" and ranked it #471 on its list of "the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". In the 2003 film Daddy Day Care, Cheap Trick make an appearance performing the song. The song is part of the soundtrack to the PS2 and Xbox 360 game Guitar Hero 2. In 2017, it was used in the closing credits of the film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and included on the soundtrack. It also appeared at the beginning and end of the 2015 film Pixels. more »
