Music video
After the discovery that every day on the calendar is Sunday, a dull office is livened up by the entrance of Forrest and Colin, who introduce an extravagant, brightly colored Hawaiian theme to the room featuring a barbeque, cool drinks, and an inflatable flamingo floatie, beginning a dance party amongst the office staff.[1]
Lyrical interpretation
Despite many believing that the song was about carefree life with no problems, Frank said that it was not the case. He said "I see in the comments, sometimes people are like, 'This song is for people that never have anything bad happen to them... [I]magine you go through the darkest stuff of your life, like depression, anxiety or suicide...things that are really tough. It's like getting out of that and seeing the light of day and accepting who you are and accepting your situation and saying, 'I'm going to just breathe this air and have a good day.' And that's really where that song came from."[5]
Live performances
Surfaces made their late-night television debut when they performed the song on Late Night with Seth Meyers on March 2, 2020.[6]
