Knowing the cycle of 5ths is a good for songwriting, because it lets you know what keys you can modulate to smoothly, and it also lets you know what common chords you can use to pivot yourself into the new key. The cycle of 5ths however has nothing to do with chord progressions (251) or how chords are constructed.

the cycle of 5ths lets you know what keys are closely related and share common chords. For ex; C maj a 5th up would be the key of G; & they both share the major chords C & G. C major a 5th down would be the key of F, and they both share the major chords C & F.
