Yes! In B♭ minor: The Aeolian cadence (VI → VII → i) shows up in the chorus at 1:16 and 3:08. Two rising major chords lead back into minor, balancing a little lift with a darker landing. The minor subtonic shuttle (i → VII) shows up in the verse at 0:11 and 0:22. A minor chord and the major chord just below it keep the loop circling rather than settling.
