The key pair is Db major and its relative Bb minor (5 flats). 7 different chords appear 42 times in total; 2 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. C, Bb, Eb act as secondary dominants, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
There's no textbook cadence here; the chords circle around each other in a loop, so the song feels more like a groove than a series of arrivals.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
Starting on Cm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Cm, G, Fm, C carry the song: vii–#IV–iii–V/iii relative to Db, ii–#VI–v–V/v relative to Bbm. C adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/iii — leads to Fm. It closes on Cm, letting the Db side have the last word.
