    "comment": "The song's title was based on Anita Ward's 1979 disco song, \"Sweet Surrender\" and was written with the band's split in mind. Paul Weller recalled to Mojo magazine in 2015: \"I wanted it to be a final statement on The Jam. A sort of clarion call. It was like, Right, we're stopping it – you take it on now.\"\n\n\"Was it emotional for me to write? Pff, not really no 'Cos my head was in Style Council towards the last days. I was counting down the hours and the days 'til I could crack on with that.\"",
