Harmony analysis

Dua Lipa – Electricity (Silk City - Diplo - Mark Ronson): key and chord analysis

The song opens on Dm and ends on G. Its chords belong to both F major and Dm, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

F major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = E (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = Bb (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

D minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = Bb (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = C (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the D minor side because it opens on Dm and Dm is heard 46 times against 44 for F. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from F major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to F or to Dm; comparing both readings is a practice of its own.

Every chord of the key, listed 1 to 7 separately for each key. Chords played in the song show how often they appear; chords from outside the scale sit next to their own degree.

Analysis

The key pair is F major and its relative D minor (1 flat). 6 different chords appear 196 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. G acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.

Chord movement

C F FV → Iauthentic cadence DmVII → III ×42
C Dm FV → videceptive cadence DmVII → iAeolian arrival ×32

The move to watch is C → F, heard 42 times. From the Dm side it is VII → III; from the F side it reads V → I (authentic cadence: the strongest arrival home). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

F major pentatonic and D minor pentatonic are the same five notes (F – G – A – C – D): start from F for a brighter phrase, from D for a bluesier one.
Over C, land on C, E, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Dm, land on D, F, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over F, land on F, A, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

The first chord is Dm; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is C, Dm, F, Bb — V–vi–I–IV from the F side, VII–i–III–VI from the Dm side. G adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/V — leads to C. Keep an ear on C → F (V → I in F, VII → III in Dm): authentic cadence — the strongest arrival home. It closes on G, letting the F side have the last word.
