Swedish DJ Alesso and British singer-songwriter Becky Hill have reunited on a collaboration destined to rule the charts and the dancefloors. Their new song, “Surrender,” is a statement. Their first single of 2025 is a perfect way for the duo to make their return to the electronic music scene, as the infectious collaboration is a combination of powerful vocals with pounding beats. If you’re overdue for an anthem that feels as good as it sounds.
From the opening note, “Surrender” immediately captures your interest with its throbbing, euphoric crescendo and familiar emotive vocals of Becky Hill. The song, written in collaboration with the stellar songwriting team of Alessandro Lindblad (Alesso), Alida Garpestad Peck, Alma Goodman, Conor Blake Manning, Kevin Hickey, and Rebecca Claire Hill (Becky Hill), helps explore the power of surrendering to love, vulnerability, and the dopamine rush that follows giving in to your feelings.
What makes “Surrender” most remarkable is how seamlessly it combines both artists’ strengths. Alesso is known for his uplifting melodies and expertly crafted drops, and his soundscape is the perfect fit for Hill’s voice to climb to the heavens. The track is designed to lose yourself in time and space, and its music and words wrap you in that sense of release and high. “Surrender,” produced by Alesso, Zhone, and Sentinel, has an infectious energy that will be a festival favorite and add to dance playlists worldwide.
The song’s live debut earlier this year at Ultra Music Festival in Miami only solidified its status as a tune meant for crowd interaction and memorable moments. Alesso and Becky Hill have put their souls into “Surrender,” resulting in a song that is both entertainment and an experience.
