Harmony analysis
Dua Lipa – We re Good: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Abm and ends on Db. Its chords belong to both Gb major and Ebm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
Eb minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Cb (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = Db (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Gb major side because Gb is heard 12 times while Ebm never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from Eb minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.
Chord degrees: major and relative minor
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Gb or to Ebm; 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 Gb major and its relative Eb minor (6 flats). 4 different chords appear 83 times in total; 4 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
- Abm Db Gbii → Vii → V Ebmiv → VII ×22
- Db Gb GbV → Iauthentic cadence EbmVII → III ×12
- B Db GbIV → VIV → V EbmVI → VIIVI → VII ×9
The move to watch is Abm → Db, heard 22 times. From the Gb side it reads ii → V (ii → V: the classic preparation of the dominant); from the Ebm side it is iv → VII. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Gb major pentatonic and Eb minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Gb – Ab – Bb – Db – Eb): start from Gb for a brighter phrase, from Eb for a bluesier one.
- Over Db, land on Db, F, Ab — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Abm, land on Ab, Cb, Eb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over B, land on B, D#, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Abm; the ear learns where home is within a second. Db, Abm, B, Gb carry the song: V–ii–IV–I relative to Gb, VII–iv–VI–III relative to Ebm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Abm → Db (ii → V in Gb, iv → VII in Ebm): ii → V — the classic preparation of the dominant. The final chord is Db; the ear comes to rest in Gb.
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.
