A reflective and uplifting acoustic ballad, “surprise!” is a love letter written to Jeremy’s younger self. He promises himself that he’ll achieve his lifelong dreams of becoming an artist, finding his perfect partner, and moving out of his small hometown to accomplish things he only ever wished for. While the future may seem uncertain for the younger version of himself, he reassures him that everything will be alright.
Jeremy shares, “‘surprise’ is really surreal for me because it’s a letter to my younger self, who’s dream i’m literally living. that’s why the line ‘cuz strange as it seems, i’m living your dreams, the voice coming out your speakers’ hits so hard for me, on one side i’m kind of time traveling, and on another, someone else who is listening could be listening to their future self. but the lyrics of the song hold all of what is special about it.”
