"Alive" opened the account for Surrender, the fourth album from the Australian alternative dance trio Rüfüs Du Sol, arriving in July 2021 as its lead single. Frontman Tyrone Lindqvist pitched it as one of their heavier songs with hope at its center, and critics heard it the same way: dark and moody, with skittering broken-beat drums, eerie synths and lyrics drawn from the ups and downs of a year spent in lockdown, yet carrying a euphoric lift made for dance floors. Rolling Stone Australia called it the band at their very best. Tom Norris mixed it.
It won Best Group and Best Dance Release at the 2021 ARIA Music Awards, and then the Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Recording in 2022.
