This transcription starts in D♭ major.

The estimated tempo is 102 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 D♭maj/3 → G♭ → A♭ → B♭m (13 occurrences); D♭maj/3 → G♭ → A♭ → D♭ (12 occurrences); D♭ → D♭maj/3 → G♭ → A♭sus4 (2 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: I → I/3 → IV → V in D♭ major; I/3 → IV → V → vi in D♭ major; I → I/3 → IV → Vsus4 in D♭ major. Think of Roman numerals as chord names you can take into any key. Uppercase is major, lowercase is minor; in minor keys, we count from the natural-minor scale.

Yes! In D♭ major: The doo-wop progression (vi → IV → V → I) shows up in the bridge at 2:00 and 2:09. That old-school slow-dance sound, with a gentle detour through minor before heading home. The hopscotch progression (I → IV → V → vi) shows up in the intro at 0:03 and the verse at 0:13. 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 intro at 0:09 and the verse at 0:18. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back.

The transcription starts in 5/8. Later meter changes are detected at 0:01 (4/4).
