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 G♭ major: The hopscotch progression (I → IV → V → vi) shows up in the intro at 0:04 and 0:27. Three rising chord roots give this loop a lift before it hops back around. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (IV → V → I) shows up in the intro at 0:00 and 0:09. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back.

The song starts in 4/4, with a short partial bar at the beginning.

The detected sections are intro (0:00) → verse (0:45) → pre-chorus (1:07) → chorus (1:29) → verse (1:51) → chorus (2:36).
