Surrender was released in August 2002 in the United States as part of a project aimed at promoting the singer in America. Atlantic Records promoted the single "Surrender" more as a dance song (helped by the several remixes of the song) than a pop song. In this way, "Surrender" was able to reach number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. In 2003 the song was issued across Europe, Latin America and Australia.

In 2013, Pausini recorded a new version for her greatest hits album, 20 - The Greatest Hits, in a slower tempo.

Live performances

Surrender was performed during the shows of the 2005 World Tour, World Tour 2009 and Inedito World Tour. During the World Tour 2009 shows, the song's rhythm was changed in its entirety, with a new acoustic version, much like the performance available on the San Siro 2007 concert video. The version present in the DVD originated by Inedito is once again the dance version, included in a medley with "Bellissimo così".
