Harmony analysis

Dua Lipa – Fever (Angele): key and chord analysis

The song opens on F#m and ends on E. Its chords belong to both A major and F#m, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

A major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = G# (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = D (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

F# minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = D (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = E (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F# minor side because it opens on F#m and F#m is heard 25 times while A never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from A major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to A or to F#m; 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.

Analysis

The key pair is A major and its relative F# minor (3 sharps). 4 different chords appear 90 times in total; 4 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.

Chord movement

E F#m AV → videceptive cadence F#mVII → iAeolian arrival ×24
D E AIV → VIV → V F#mVI → VIIVI → VII ×11
Bm E Aii → Vii → V F#miv → VII ×7

The move to watch is E → F#m, heard 24 times. From the F#m side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the A side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected A, lands on F#m). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

A major pentatonic and F# minor pentatonic are the same five notes (A – B – C# – E – F#): start from A for a brighter phrase, from F# for a bluesier one.
Over E, land on E, G#, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over F#m, land on F#, A, C# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Bm, land on B, D, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

The first chord is F#m; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is E, F#m, Bm, D — V–vi–ii–IV from the A side, VII–i–iv–VI from the F#m side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on E → F#m (V → vi in A, VII → i in F#m): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. Ending on E, the song seals A as home.

This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
