In the song "Circles" by Megan Thee Stallion, the rapper addresses the issue of men taking advantage of women's kindness and loyalty. She begins by questioning why some men choose to treat "bad bitches" poorly despite the women's positive impacts on their lives. Megan also expresses frustration with these men, who often turn out to be "clowns" who don't appreciate what they have. In the chorus, she declares that she won't waste her time and energy on "lil boys" who can't handle a strong woman.
Throughout the song, Megan uses various strategies to communicate her message. She employs repetition of the phrase "circles, circles" and other ad-libs to emphasize her point. She also uses figurative language, such as when she compares herself to an unbroken heart in need of a seamstress, and makes references to her own past experiences dealing with difficult men. Overall, "Circles" is an anthem for women who refuse to tolerate being mistreated and undervalued by men.
