Maren Morris Releases Her Story in a Song – “Circles Around This Town”

by jwills | January 7, 2022

Maren Morris is stepping into 2022 with a brand new single – “Circles Around This Town.”

Talking about the new track, Maren shares, “’Circles Around This Town’ is about my journey from Texas to Nashville almost nine years ago to become a songwriter. And everything that I had to go through to get to where I am today. And it’s just a nice, nostalgic look back on my life for me and hopefully inspiring to any aspiring songwriter out there.“

Listen carefully and you’ll notice that Maren’s new song namechecks a couple of her previous hits – like “My Church” and “80s Mercedes.”

Can you also name that announcer at the start of the music video for Maren’s “Circles Around This Town.”
