Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Bb minor side because it opens on Bbm, Bbm is heard 16 times against 14 for Db and the major V chord points straight at Bbm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Db major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Db or to Bbm; comparing both readings is a practice of its own.
Every chord of the key, listed 1 to 7 separately for each key. Chords played in the song show how often they appear; chords from outside the scale sit next to their own degree.

The key pair is Db major and its relative Bb minor (5 flats). 4 different chords appear 60 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Bbm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from Db, the same F is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Bbm.
The move to watch is F → Bbm, heard 15 times. From the Bbm side it is V → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the Db side it reads V/vi → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
The first chord is Bbm; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is Bbm, F, Db, Ebm — vi–V/vi–I–ii from the Db side, i–V–III–iv from the Bbm side. F is the interesting twist: in Db it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Bbm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on F → Bbm (V/vi → vi in Db, V → i in Bbm): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. Ending on F, the song seals Db as home.
