'Circle in the Sand' was written by Rick Nowels and Ellen Shipley, who wrote many of Carlisle's hit singles in the late 1980s and into the early 1990s.The first known appearance of the song in progress is from the Lost Heaven Demos bootleg which features a solid drum beat, lead keyboard line and simple bass with no guitars present, and completed lyrics. The final album version of the song features a unique lead keyboard theme provided by Thomas Dolby, combined with a thumping bassline and accentuated with swirling and shimmering guitar effects.
The memorable music video was directed by Peter Care and features Carlisle singing with various beach scenes in the background. The video mirrors the lyrical content of the song with "cold wind", "tide moves in" and "waves crash"-ing throughout. Carlisle's look in this video is the same long, red hair look she features on the back cover of the Heaven on Earth album.
The single reached number 4 in the UK Singles Chart in 1988 while also making number 7 in the US Billboard Hot 100.
