Yes! In G♭ major: The doo-wop progression (I → vi → IV → V) shows up in the verse at 0:04 and 0:19. That old-school slow-dance sound, with a gentle detour through minor before heading home. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (IV → V → I) shows up in the verse at 0:14 and 0:33. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back.
