Here are a few patterns to play with: vi → V/3 → I → IV in D♭ major; V/3 → I → IV → I/3 in D♭ major; I → IV → I/3 → V 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 four-chord pop progression (IV → I → V → vi) shows up in the intro at 0:04 and the pre-chorus at 0:51. The big singalong loop: a little lift, a little heartache, and an easy way back home. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (V → I → IV) shows up in the intro at 0:02 and 0:10. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back.
