Yes! In D♭ major: The doo-wop progression (I → vi → IV → V) shows up in the intro at 0:00 and the verse at 0:21. 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 intro at 0:09 and the verse at 0:27. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back. In D major: The doo-wop progression (I → vi → IV → V) shows up in the chorus at 1:45 and 1:54. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (IV → V → I) shows up in the chorus at 1:51 and 2:03.
