In April, singer-songwriter and actress Alivia Clark released the breathtaking single, “Breathless.” The budding songstress now closes out the summer and kicks off the fall with “Dancing In Circles.” The Dance-Pop anthem is marked by its pulsating, intoxicating rhythm and Alivia Clark’s polished, sultry vocals.

“Dancing In Circles” is a groove-led up-tempo record that is fun and uber-catchy. The euphoric song’s sensual vibe accentuates the track’s theme of blissful yet wary seduction and temptation. “‘Dancing In Circles’ explores the push and pull of attraction and is about being stuck in a cycle with someone that you know isn’t good for you, but the chemistry makes it impossible to let go.” Alivia Clark continues, “There’s something so addictive about that feeling, you know that you’re going around in circles, but part of you doesn’t want to stop.”
