Camila Mendes Shares A Healing Cover Of The Late Mac Miller's 'Circles'

Camila Mendes has shown off her vocal chops in several of Riverdale's musical episodes. However yesterday (April 12), the actress took her singing skills from the hit CW series directly to Instagram. With her soft and sweet cover of the late Mac Miller's "Circles," the actress hoped to lift people's spirits throughout these frightening and uncertain times. And based on the overwhelmingly positive comments, she succeeded.


"Circles by Mac Miller," the 25-year-old actress wrote alongside her acoustic version of the emotional track. "This is the initial verse yet I included lyrics from the second because they eerily resonate with the emotional state of the world right now."


And she's right, Miller's words do resonate. "We're doing well, sittin', watchin' the world fallin' down," the lyrics read. And while it definitely feels like that as we continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, the verse is also a reminder that we must take things one step at a time. "Don't you put any more stress on yourself," the song continues. "It's one day at a time."


For those who are unfamiliar, "Circles" is the initial track off the late rapper's posthumous album of the same name, which was released back in January of this year. The song itself appears to be about life's cycle of inevitable disappointments, nevertheless as Mendes pointed out in her caption, the second verse appears to speak to the fear and confusion several of us are feeling right now.


Most importantly, Mendes's fans enjoyed the cover and felt it was particularly fitting for the world we currently reside in. "You made my day so much better at this," one individual wrote. "Your voice is magic," someone else commented. Clearly, her angelic cover of the track struck a chord with her most devoted fans.


If you were also moved by Mendes's rendition of Miller's "Circles" and aspire to hear her sing more, you're in luck. Riverdale's next musical episode will air this Wednesday (April 15) and all of your preference characters from the hit CW series will be singing songs from Hedwig and the Irritated Inch. Don't forget to tune in!
