Surrender

"Surrender" is a single by Cheap Trick released in June 1978, serving as the opening track on their album Heaven Tonight. It was the band's first single to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching number 62. For electric guitar players, the song is a rewarding study in the punchy, hook-driven rock style that defined Cheap Trick, featuring tight rhythm work and the kind of melodic sensibility that made the band a landmark act of the late 1970s.

  • "Surrender" was Cheap Trick's first single to enter the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 62 in 1978.
  • The song opens Heaven Tonight, an album whose success in Japan led to the legendary Budokan concerts.
  • Those Budokan shows, partly fueled by "Surrender" momentum, produced Cheap Trick's most popular live album.
