Composition

"Surrender Your Love" is very similar in sound to "Push the Feeling On" (structure, house music sonorities, vocals), and sees singer Reid returning to a more traditional verse-chorus construction. The chorus is made out of editing syllables from the actual verses, and goes like "(Sa)-ying We Have Got/Feeling/..ying We Have/Wanna Stay". This is the typical remixing style of MK.

Critical reception

John Bush from AllMusic described "Surrender Your Love" as a deep-house hit. [3] In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton wrote, "The new single has more of a song structure than the last hit, owing to the presence of vocalist John Reid on the track. Another Top 3 hit could well be on the cards." [4] Simon Price from Melody Maker described it as "aciiiedic". [5] Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "The beat goes on, but no longer on FFRR. On their Arista label debut, the inventors of the "canned vibraphone" effect as further perfected by Robin S. push the feeling a little further on." [6]

A reviewer from Music Week gave the track three out of five, adding that it "retains the familiar elements of its predecessor though this is a less striking re-invention." [7] Brad Beatnik from the Record Mirror Dance Update gave it four out of five, writing, "Just when we've worked out the lyrics for the last hit, along comes another brainteaser. This is very much in the same mould with MK on hand again to cut up the vocal and add the inimitably simple keyboard stabs and rumbling organ and bass. This one-sided promo is equally catchy and there's no reason why it shouldn't go the same way as "Push the Feeling On"." [8] Another RM editor, James Hamilton, noted the "more coherently whined than "Push the Feeling On" but similarly nagged, honked and burbled striding 122.5bpm MK Club and Dub Mixes, co-created right from scratch by Marc Kinchen this time". [9]

Music video

A music video was produced to promote the single. It was later made available by Vevo on YouTube in 2014, and had generated more than two million views as of early 2024. [10]
