If you’ve ever felt caught in an endless cycle (who hasn’t?), then Galantis, Peach Martine, and secs on the beach’s “Circles” will resonate. Paradoxically carefree yet conscientious, the single is buoyed by the memorable and, certainly, relatable hook, “I’m living in circles/sleepwalking through my days/It maybe makes me nervous/I really need a change.”
The collaboration taps into Galantis’ strengths – confessional lyrics complemented by upbeat, ebullient production – with fun, clever flourishes from vocalist Peach Martine and production pair secs on the beach.
“Circles is my favorite song I’ve written so far…it’s one of those happy-sounding danceable bangers with deeper lyrics that people can really relate to,” says Peach Martine.
Like most splash-making numbers, the track “came together through good friends having fun in the studio after-hours,” adds Galantis. “There was a trumpet laying around – quietly, as no one knew how to play it – so naturally, we decided that had to be the main instrument on the tune, so we give you ‘Circles’: the wild, untamed trumpet amateur hour!”
