"Surrendering" is a pop rock song written by Alanis Morissette, and produced by her for her fifth album, ''Under Rug Swept'' (2002). The song was the last Morissette wrote for the album. According to her, it is "about the gratitude that I feel for someone tapping into the courage that it takes to allow themselves to be loved and to ... listen to (fears ) and still move through them. And how thrilling it is for me to be able to be let in in that kind of way. And how healing it is ultimately for both the person I'm singing about and myself." She has described it as "a very peaceful, joyful song".〔("Alanis Morissette talks about songs from 'Under Rug Swept'" ). MSO.
