Round in Circles

Album: The Driver (2016)

Songfacts®:

  • This was co-written by Charles' brother, Josh Kelley. It marked the first time the pair had recorded together since Josh's early work. "We haven't written together in a long time," Charles Kelley noted to The Boot in early 2016. "Josh, when I first moved to Nashville, he really helped teach me how to write songs. He really did, and the people he was around: His band would write with me, and I was this nobody; he would bring over writers."

    "And so, last year, in January, my wife and I just randomly decided to get out of the cold. The band was off for a couple months from the tour. We [rented a house with Airbnb] for a month, so we went out there in January. And Josh and I reconnected like we haven't in a long time," he continued. "We wrote a bunch of songs, and I felt like Josh and I became best friends again, which was really cool. I was proud of my brother to be a part of it. It was kind of cool. I love him to death."
