The Time of My Life

This transcription starts in A♭ major.

The estimated tempo is 154 BPM, calculated from the median spacing between detected beats. This is a summary of the transcription; timing can vary during the song.

Recurring four-chord sequences in this transcription include A♭ → E♭ → Fm → D♭ (7 occurrences); A♭ → E♭ → Fm7 → D♭ (6 occurrences); G♭ → D♭ → A♭ → E♭ (3 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Recurring relative progressions include I → V → vi → IV in A♭ major; I → V → vi7 → IV in A♭ major; ♭VII → IV → I → V in A♭ major. Numerals refer to the key active at that point; uppercase means major and lowercase means minor. Minor keys use natural-minor scale degrees.

The transcription contains repeated matches to the four-chord pop progression (IV → I → V → vi), e.g. verse at 0:09 in A♭ major; chorus at 0:43 in A♭ major. Also, the doo-wop progression (vi → IV → V → I), e.g. chorus at 0:57 in A♭ major; chorus at 1:53 in A♭ major. Also, the double-plagal progression (♭VII → IV → I), e.g. pre-chorus at 0:25 in A♭ major; pre-chorus at 0:34 in A♭ major. Extensions, inversions and suspensions are simplified for matching; the chord labels retain them. These are chord-order matches, not confirmation of a particular rhythm, bass line or influence.

The transcription starts in 6/8.
