Does It’s Not Over use a well-known chord progression?

Yes! In B♭ minor: The descending minor / lament progression (i → VII → VI → V) shows up in the chorus at 0:49 and 1:58. A descending staircase of chords, with the last step pulling hard back toward the start. The hopscotch progression (VI → VII → i → III) shows up in the verse at 0:23 and the chorus at 1:48. Three rising chord roots give this loop a lift before it hops back around. The Aeolian cadence (VI → VII → i) shows up in the verse at 0:03 and 0:10. 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 0:00 and the interlude at 0:56. A minor chord and the major chord just below it keep the loop circling rather than settling.
