It was the third single from their fourth studio album Clutching at Straws, released on 26 October 1987.{{cite web |author=Rob Hendriks |title=Interview June 2002 |url=http://www.the-company.com/int/int41.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101128091706/http://the-company.com/int/int41.htm |archive-date=28 November 2010 |publisher=The Web magazine}}

"Warm Wet Circles" peaked at number 22 in the UK Singles Chart, becoming the band's 9th top-thirty hit in a row, and remained on the chart for four weeks. The music video featured footage of the band's concert at Lorelei in West Germany on 18 July 1987. The B-side is a live recording of "White Russian", another track from Clutching at Straws also made during the Loreley concert. The 12" version additionally contains a version of "Incommunicado" from this concert.

In Argentina, the single was published under the Spanish title "Círculos Húmedos y Cálidos".

A CD replica of the single was also part of a collector's box-set released in July 2000 which contained Marillion's first twelve singles and was re-issued as a 3-CD set in 2009.
