"Circus" is a song co-written and performed by American singer Lenny Kravitz and released on December 11, 1995, by Virgin Records as the second single from his fourth studio album, Circus (1995). There were two music videos produced for the song: one directed by Ruven Afanador and the other by Martyn Atkins. Kravitz explained to Billboard, "it gets more like a circus with all this suff—management people, fans, bankers, investment people. It's like, My God! What happened? It gets harder to be yourself."
