"Sweet Surrender" is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter John Denver.

The single version of "Sweet Surrender" has yet to appear on any compact disc or digital reissue, characterized by its lack of applause over the introduction.

This can be determined by an audible comparison between RCA Victor PB-10148, the 45 rpm single issue vs. any compact disc containing the song.

"Sweet Surrender" was the opening theme song of the 1974 Walt Disney movie The Bears and I.

"[3] Cash Box said that "John Denver's high, clear voice, easy listening guitar stylings and sunny disposition should make this record another hit.
