Analysis

The key pair is Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 5 different chords appear 63 times in total; 1 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. F acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.

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

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 Bb, land on Bb, D, F — 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.
Over F, land on F, A, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

Starting on Dm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Bb, Dm, F, Gm carry the song: II–#iv–V/ii–vii relative to Ab, IV–#vi–V/iv–ii relative to Fm. F adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/ii — leads to Bbm. The final chord is Dm; the ear comes to rest in Ab.

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.
