Analysis
The key pair is Bb major and its relative G minor (2 flats). 6 different chords appear 73 times in total; 0 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. B, F#, C#7, D#m are borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.
Chord movement
There's no textbook cadence here; the chords circle around each other in a loop, so the song feels more like a groove than a series of arrivals.
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 B, land on B, D#, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over F#, land on F#, A#, C# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over E, land on E, G#, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- On B, follow the chord's notes (B · D# · F#) rather than the key's scale — it's a borrowed colour.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on B, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. B, F#, E, G#m carry the song: bII–bVI–#IV–bvii relative to Bb, #III–#VII–#VI–bii relative to Gm. B briefly darkens the picture: neapolitan bii — a dark, dramatic colour a half step above the tonic. The final chord is C#7; the ear comes to rest in Bb.
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.
