"Surrender" was the fourth single the Canadian band pulled from Billy Talent II, their triple-platinum 2006 album, and it arrived in 2007 as the record's big exhale. The band wrote it together, Benjamin Kowalewicz sings lead, and Chris Lord-Alge mixed it to a hard shine: Kowalewicz's reedy voice climbs from a wounded murmur to a full-throated plea while the guitars build behind him into a slow-burning roar. Phil Harder shot the video in early February.
