There is always a song that hits the soft spot in your heart and crumbles your liver when you hear it more and more. The problem with leaning in between the songs is that after a while, it becomes a part of your memory. That is something happening with me, which is why we are discussing it here on my blog, “YG Take”. If you haven’t heard it, let me tell you this will make your legs tap and quietly break your heart together. “Circles” by Post Malone for you!
This soothing, circular music is a guitar-based song from Hollywood's studio, which was released in 2019, and became more than simply a commercial hit; it became a heartfelt rhythm for anyone who has ever found themselves in a slump of thoughts or memories. Let me tell you this song is still relevant after 6 years off release, serving as a gentle reminder of the connections we attempt to end but ultimately fail to do so in our lives.

What is Circles by Post Malone about?

Stuck on Repeat: When Love Becomes a Loop
The core of Circles by Post Malone lies in a simple, haunting truth for every one of us, and that is; sometimes love isn’t just enough. No matter how many memories are stitched together, how much time spent together, or how strong your bond was together, all these things don’t matter after the strike. Sometimes the relationship continues to fall apart and grow again from a bud. What is “circles” in the song? Simply telling is the loop mentioned in the song.
“Run away, but we’re running in circles…”
The moment of separating and leaving is the moment where the cycle begins. Yes, the cycle that the song is talking about. It’s more than the lyrical part because to me it looks like a loop. Even the music video of Circles by Post Malone feels like ‘When you conquered the holy land but not her heart’ kind of. Circles music is totally a loop.
“Seasons change and our love went cold”
We all came across this sensation where we have experienced things like this. A statement that keeps repeating in your head as you relive talks of your past, hypothetical scenarios, and almost-goodbye moments from your life on a restless evening. Ever did?
The Sound of Softly Letting Go
I have heard Circles by Post Malone for like 100+ times, and it feels like a story of a tired guy. I don’t know if it’s just me, but the song tone feels like a person who is resigning from love not the one who is tired. There is no shouting, no blame game, just piercing with words, adding more into this the way Post Malone says, makes it more lethal.
Maybe you don't understand what I'm going through
It's only me, what you got to lose?
Hearing more and more of Circles by Post Malone will make you realize that it doesn’t need tears, it just needs your attention and acceptance. When I say acceptance, it means accepting the situation in the way it is and moving on gradually and slowly. Post Malone Circles music video is another masterpiece in my eyes. As the person who has fought war is walking in a loop.
The “Almost” Love Everyone Remembers
You thought that it was special, special
let's face it, all of us have gone through it. That one connection. It would be different from the one you promised to someone. The one where you choose to disregard the warning signs and the red flags because the highs were so fantastic, the love was too much to be ignored. This is the one you held on to for longer than you should have, expecting that it would stay this time in a loop. That “Loop” is something this song focuses on.
YG Take
One evening while streaming on Netflix, I came across this Japanese anime movie called "Your Name" (Kimi no Na wa), a romantic anime movie directed by Makoto Shinkai that’s now attached in my heart.
Conclusion: Healing Doesn’t Always Have to Be Loud
Post Malone’s song “Circles” feels like a mirror to me. It also makes me realize that how easy it is to get caught by emotional loop. It reminds of moments where the comfort of the known outweighs the risk of walking away. It also tells that letting go is not about caring but choosing peace over chaos pattern which is “Circles”.
We often think that healing needs to be dramatic as we see in movies like loud tears, bold deeds, and sudden goodbyes. Sometimes, though, the first step to healing is just seeing that you're repeating the same mistakes and choosing to gently break away from them. Are you? And if next time you find yourself trapped in a loop, whether it be in life, love, or thought, put on Circles. Remind yourself that you are not alone and that you can break the cycle.
