Harmony analysis

Dua Lipa – One Kiss (Calvin Harris): key and chord analysis

The song opens on Am and ends on G7. 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 F major side because F is heard 23 times while Dm never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from D minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.

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). 5 different chords appear 80 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. G7, G step outside the scale as colour chords.

Chord movement

Bbmaj7 Fmaj7 FIVmaj7 → Imaj7plagal cadence DmVImaj7 → IIImaj7 ×20

The move to watch is Bbmaj7 → Fmaj7, heard 20 times. From the F side it reads IVmaj7 → Imaj7 (plagal cadence: the soft 'amen' ending); from the Dm side it is VImaj7 → IIImaj7. 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 Fmaj7, land on F, A, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Am, land on A, C, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Bbmaj7, land on Bb, D, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

The first chord is Am; the ear learns where home is within a second. Fmaj7, Am, Bbmaj7, G7 carry the song: Imaj7–iii–IVmaj7–II7 relative to F, IIImaj7–v–VImaj7–IV7 relative to Dm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Bbmaj7 → Fmaj7 (IVmaj7 → Imaj7 in F, VImaj7 → IIImaj7 in Dm): plagal cadence — the soft 'amen' ending. The final chord is G7; the ear comes to rest in F.

This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
