Shawn Mendes – Fallin' All In You: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Ab and ends on Ab. Its chords belong to both Ab major and Fm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
F minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Db (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = Eb (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Ab major side because it both starts and finishes on Ab and Ab is heard 25 times against 22 for Fm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from F minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.

Analysis
The key pair is Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 4 different chords appear 80 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
- Eb Ab AbV → Iauthentic cadence FmVII → III ×11
- Db Eb AbIV → VIV → V FmVI → VIIVI → VII ×9
- Db Ab AbIV → Iplagal cadence FmVI → III ×6
- Eb Fm AbV → videceptive cadence FmVII → iAeolian arrival ×4
The move to watch is Eb → Ab, heard 11 times. From the Ab side it reads V → I (authentic cadence: the strongest arrival home); from the Fm side it is VII → III. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Ab major pentatonic and F minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Ab – Bb – C – Eb – F): start from Ab for a brighter phrase, from F for a bluesier one.
- Over Ab, land on Ab, C, Eb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Fm, land on F, Ab, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Eb, land on Eb, G, Bb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The opening Ab lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Ab, Fm, Eb, Db carry the song: I–vi–V–IV relative to Ab, III–i–VII–VI relative to Fm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Eb → Ab (V → I in Ab, VII → III in Fm): authentic cadence — the strongest arrival home. It closes on Ab, letting the Ab side have the last word.
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.
