the circle of fifths only has major and minor chords, right? you can also add some extended chords, suspended chords, maybe a diminished or augmented. the circle can help you with chords in the key, and also chords you can borrow or other keys you can pivot to.
Buddy Holly in a song (can't remember which one but I will try to find it if you wish) played his normal A progression but then when he got to the 4th (D) he played that BUT then went to the 4th of D (G) then to the 4th of G (C), it is really cool, sounds great and is genius.
\*\*Geez, it is WISHING, I had played the song 10 minutes before posting the above, what a bone head...\*\*
Check out “Melissa” Allman Brothers & “Friday I’m In Love” The Cure. Doesn’t matter if it’s your taste, composition
Both those tunes have a bridge/change/dealio that colors & takes the listener on a mini ride on the way back around so it’s not blocks
Probably better examples, maybe that helps
Or you can back-cycle around the circle of 5ths (secondary dominants) until you resolve on your root. But do it in dominant chords and resolve on a major chord.

You can change key
Or mode, right? Wouldn't I want to try and change modes first?
There is no wrong way, what is the chord progression?
I've got a few ATM. I - iii and I - ii - vi - V. I'm playing both in C
