Yes! In E♭ major: The four-chord pop progression (I → V → vi → IV) shows up in the chorus at 0:38 and 0:51. The big singalong loop: a little lift, a little heartache, and an easy way back home. The plagal sigh (IV → iv → I) shows up in the chorus at 0:48 and 1:01. One note sinks as IV turns minor, giving the return home its little ache.
