Harmony analysis

Pop Smoke – What You Know Bout Love: key and chord analysis

The song opens on Ebmaj7 and ends on Gm. Its chords belong to both Bb major and Gm, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

Bb major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

  • 7 = A (leading tone, pulls home)
  • 4 = Eb (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

G minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

  • b6 = Eb (the minor's melancholy)
  • b7 = F (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the G minor side because it comes to rest on Gm and Gm is heard 20 times while Bb never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Bb 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 Bb or to Gm; 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 Bb major and its relative G minor (2 flats). 5 different chords appear 126 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.

Chord movement

  1. F6 Gm BbV6 → videceptive cadence GmVII6 → iAeolian arrival ×20
  2. Ebmaj7 F6 BbIVmaj7 → V6IV → V GmVImaj7 → VII6VI → VII ×20

The move to watch is F6 → Gm, heard 20 times. From the Gm side it is VII6 → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the Bb side it reads V6 → vi (deceptive cadence: expected Bb, lands on Gm). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

  • Bb major pentatonic and G minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Bb – C – D – F – G): start from Bb for a brighter phrase, from G for a bluesier one.
  • Over Ebmaj7, land on Eb, G, Bb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
  • Over Dm7, land on D, F, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
  • Over Cm7, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song on the circle of fifths

  • Played in the song — chord of the key
  • Played — the minor's harmonic V or a secondary dominant
  • Played — borrowed or outside chord
  • Home region: IV–I–V and ii–vi–iii

Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.

    The song's harmonic story

    Starting on Ebmaj7, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are Ebmaj7, Dm7, Cm7, F6; read them as IVmaj7–iii7–ii7–V6 in Bb or VImaj7–v7–iv7–VII6 in Gm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on F6 → Gm (V6 → vi in Bb, VII6 → i in Gm): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. Ending on Gm, the song seals Gm as home.

    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.
