Yes! In D♭ major: The hopscotch progression (I → IV → V → vi) shows up in the chorus at 0:49 and 1:56. Three rising chord roots give this loop a lift before it hops back around. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (I → IV → V) shows up in the chorus at 0:41 and 1:03. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back.
