Harmony analysis

Ariana Grande – Pov: key and chord analysis

The song opens on Eb and ends on Ab. Its chords belong to both Eb major and Cm, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

Eb major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

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

Minor view

C minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = Ab (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = Bb (natural-minor colour)
#7 = B (harmonic-minor leading tone from the V chord)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Eb major side because it opens on Eb, Eb is heard 13 times against 12 for Cm and the major V chord points straight at Cm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from C minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Eb or to Cm; 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 Eb major and its relative C minor (3 flats). 9 different chords appear 55 times in total; 7 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Cm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from Eb, the same G is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Cm. Eb9 acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.

Chord movement

Ab Eb EbIV → Iplagal cadence CmVI → III ×6
G Cm EbV/vi → vi CmV → iharmonic-minor cadence ×3
G Cm7 EbV/vi → vi7 CmV → i7harmonic-minor cadence ×3
Ab Eb9 EbIV → V7/IVplagal cadence CmVI → V7/VI ×3
Gm Cm Ebiii → vi Cmv → inatural-minor cadence ×2

The move to watch is Ab → Eb, heard 6 times. From the Eb side it reads IV → I (plagal cadence: the soft 'amen' ending); from the Cm side it is VI → III. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

Eb major pentatonic and C minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Eb – F – G – Bb – C): start from Eb for a brighter phrase, from C for a bluesier one.
Over Ab, land on Ab, C, Eb — 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.
Over Cm, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
When G comes, swap the scale's Bb for B: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story

Starting on Eb, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Ab, Eb, Cm, Bb — IV–I–vi–V from the Eb side, VI–III–i–VII from the Cm side. G is the interesting twist: in Eb it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Cm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Ab → Eb (IV → I in Eb, VI → III in Cm): plagal cadence — the soft 'amen' ending. It closes on Ab, letting the Eb 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.
