Harmony analysis
Jessie J – Price Tag: key and chord analysis
The song opens on F and ends on A#. Its chords belong to both F major and Dm, so every chord below is read both ways.
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 it opens on F. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from D minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.

Analysis
The key pair is F major and its relative D minor (1 flat). 4 different chords appear 72 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
- Am Dm Fiii → vi Dmv → inatural-minor cadence ×18
- A# F FIV → Iplagal cadence DmVI → III ×17
The move to watch is Am → Dm, heard 18 times. From the F side it reads iii → vi; from the Dm side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival). 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 F, 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 Dm, land on D, F, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is F; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are F, Am, Dm, A#; read them as I–iii–vi–IV in F or III–v–i–VI in Dm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Am → Dm (iii → vi in F, v → i in Dm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. The final chord is A#; 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.
