Some songs hit you with their honesty, and Post Malone’s “Circles” is one of those rare tracks that sounds like summer but feels like heartbreak. Released as part of his Hollywood’s Bleeding album, this slow-burning anthem captured fans around the world with its mix of melancholy lyrics, retro groove, and cinematic storytelling.
In the video, Post wanders through a medieval battlefield-turned-fairytale dream, wearing chainmail armor and carrying the weight of a broken love. The visuals are surreal, but the feeling is real; like you’re stuck in a memory that won’t let go. As he sings “Runaway, but we’re running in circles,” you feel that emotional exhaustion of trying to fix something that’s already fallen apart. The song’s hypnotic rhythm and raw vocals pull you into that loop; stuck, spinning, wishing.
