Yes! In B♭ major: The four-chord pop progression (vi → IV → I → V) shows up in the chorus at 2:24 and 2:37. The big singalong loop: a little lift, a little heartache, and an easy way back home. The ii–V–I progression (ii → V → I) shows up in the chorus at 1:21 and 2:17. Jazz’s trusty route home: set up some tension, turn it up, then let it resolve. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (V → I → IV) shows up in the chorus at 1:15 and 2:12. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back.
