"Surrender" is a single by Cheap Trick released in June 1978 from the album #HeavenTonight and also the album's opening track.

Its success in Japan, as well as the success of its preceding singles "#ClockStrikesTen" and "#IWantYouToWantMe", paved the way for Cheap Trick's concerts at #NipponBudokan in Tokyo in April 1978 which were recorded for #CheapTrickAtBudokan.
