About This Track

One of two previously unreleased tracks added to the deluxe edition of 'Circles', 'Right' arrives with the intimate, vulnerable quality that defined Mac Miller's later work. The production stays minimal, allowing his lilted vocal to carry the weight of the lyric. Miller sketches a relationship tested by distance and strain, the verses moving between absence and the promise of return. He acknowledges past mistakes and offers reassurance, the chorus hinging on patience and timing rather than grand gesture. The post-chorus refrain cycles through the mundane rhythms of coupledom, days into nights, conversations into fights, before landing on a quiet insistence that love turns into life. The track possesses the same heartbreaking, personal quality that runs through 'Circles' proper, a final discovery from an artist whose songwriting continued to deepen until the end.

"Right" is a track by Mac Miller, from the album Circles (Deluxe), released 19th March 2020. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Right

[Verse 1]

Yeah, it's been a while without your face

But I saw your picture on the wall the other day

Too much distance, too much space

You need to come back home or run along, yeah

I'm waitin' for the light to change

You ask me how I've been, well I'm good, I can't complain

Times get harder, things get strained

All I know, I don't want you gone

[Chorus]

I know it hasn't been easy lately

But you don't wanna leave me, baby

And you know I hate to keep you waitin'

But when it's right, then it's right, yeah

[Post-Chorus]

Days turn into nights

Conversations turn into fights, we gon' be alright

Love turn into life

Girl, you been burnin' so bright, let me turn off the lights

Stay awake 'til the mornin', yeah

It ain't always great, but it's never borin', yeah

[Verse 2]

And I been itchin' for your love

Don't want to feel a single thing if it ain't your touch

I get drunk and become numb

Just want to stumble into us

But baby, don't stop now 'cause it ain't over, yeah

Few years ago I was so dumb

Clueless, young and stupid, but look at who I have become

I ain't gonna break your heart, promise it's always safe

Baby, don't go now, pull me closer

[Chorus]

I know it hasn't been easy lately

But you don't wanna leave me, baby (Woah)

You know I hate to keep you waitin'

But I know when it's right, then it's right, yeah

[Post-Chorus]

Days turn into nights

Conversations turn into fights, we gon' be alright

'Cause love turn into life

Girl, you been burnin' so bright, let me turn off the lights

Stay awake 'til the mornin'

It ain't always great, but it's never borin'

[Outro]

Woah-woah, woah-woah, woah-woah

Woah-woah, woah-woah, woah-woah

Woah-woah, woah-woah, woah-woah (Ha-ha)

But when it's right, then it's right, alright

Ooh-ooh, mhm

Ooh-ooh, mhm

Ooh-ooh, mhm
