The duo were encouraged by the results of their first session together, during which Bono sang over the Edge's musical sketches. [11] In the cases of several songs, including "Stories for Boys", " Two Hearts Beat as One", " Desire", and " Peace on Earth", Bono liked the Edge's demo vocals enough that he encouraged the Edge to sing on the final versions. [14] While experimenting with new arrangements for the songs, the Edge changed their keys, chords, and rhythms, [9] while Bono often rewrote the lyrics. [10]Over the course of recording Songs of Surrender, the Edge estimated that the group created 50 new song arrangements in total. [11] Songs such as " Angel of Harlem" and " Moment of Surrender" were in contention to be included on the album but were ultimately left off.

The decision to split was solely Weller's. Explaining at the time that he disliked the idea of continuing for as long as possible simply because they were successful, he later told The Daily Mirror in advance of a 2015 Sky documentary on the band, "I wanted to end it to see what else I was capable of, and I'm still sure we stopped at the right time. I'm proud of what we did but I didn't want to dilute it, or for us to get embarrassing by trying to go on forever. We finished at our peak. I think we had achieved all we wanted or needed to, both commercially and artistically." [36]

One song that saw the most extensive lyrical changes was " Walk On", which was originally released in 2000. At the time, Bono had written it for Burmese academic Aung San Suu Kyi, who was under house arrest from 1989 to 2010 for her pro-democracy activities. Following her ascent to the office of state counsellor, she was criticised for Myanmar's inaction to the genocide of the Rohingya people. Bono said he "felt so let down" by her and decided to re-write the song's lyrics for a different person, instead paying tribute to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for his leadership against the Russian invasion of his country. [14] Bono and the Edge performed the new version of the song on 9 April 2022 for Global Citizen's Stand Up for Ukraine livestream, which was organised to urge world leaders to raise funds for Ukrainian refugees. [18] As vocals were being recorded for Songs of Surrender and preparations were being made to mix the album, Bono and the Edge were invited by Zelenskyy's chief of staff to visit Ukraine for a performance. They immediately halted work on the album and within 3–4 days boarded a train into Kyiv. [19] They performed the new version of "Walk On" for Zelenskyy in a subway station during their 8 May visit.

Also written from a personal perspective, Our Favourite Shop’s “A Man Of Great Promise” was Weller’s tribute to his old school friend and writer, Dave Waller, with whom Weller had set up the short-lived publishing house, Riot Stories Ltd. The company folded after Waller’s premature death in 1982, but his passing spurred Weller into writing a heartfelt eulogy, which still ranks among the very best Style Council songs.
