Here are a few patterns to play with: V → I/3 → IV → Vsus4 in G major; IV → I → IV → I in G major; IV → I → IV → V in G major. Think of Roman numerals as chord names you can take into any key. Uppercase is major, lowercase is minor; in minor keys, we count from the natural-minor scale.

Does Austin use a well-known chord progression?

Yes! In G major: The doo-wop progression (vi → IV → V → I) shows up in the verse at 0:18 and the chorus at 0:40. That old-school slow-dance sound, with a gentle detour through minor before heading home. The hopscotch progression (I → IV → V → vi) shows up in the verse at 0:14 and the chorus at 0:44. Three rising chord roots give this loop a lift before it hops back around. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (IV → V → I) shows up in the verse at 0:26 and the chorus at 0:50. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back. In A major: The hopscotch progression (V → vi → I → IV) shows up in the chorus at 2:54. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (I → IV → V) shows up in the chorus at 2:58.
