Background and composition[]

JP Makhlouf, one of the members of Cash Cash, said that "Working on this song brought out a lot of incredible emotions."[2] While the title may refer to the act of giving act, Jean Paul of Cash Cash has stated that "Surrendering is usually seen as something negative or a sign of defeat, but this song shows a different side of things. Sometimes it’s the fight that kills you. Sometimes you don’t even know what you’re fighting for. Sometimes surrendering can set you free!"[2][3] The track clocks at 3 minutes 28 seconds and features the vocal by Julia Michaels.

"Surrender" was promoted by the group through a Twitter campaign, #SurrenderToCashCash. The group encouraged fans to change their Twitter profile pictures to white flags to mirror the single's cover art. Fans who tweeted the hashtag may be tweeted, followed, or even have their Twitter profile "taken over" by the group.[4]
