                        Gm
Tell me what you really like
                   Cm
Baby I can take my time
                      Ab
We don't ever have to fight
                     Eb
Just take it step-by-step
                     Gm
I can see it in your eyes
                         Cm
Cause they never tell me lies
                     Ab
I can feel that body shake
                          Eb
And the heat between your legs

                      Cm
You've been scared of love
                Gm
And what it did to you

You don't have to run

I know what you've been through

When you're alone with me

            Gm
I feel it coming
            Cm
I feel it coming babe
            Ab
I feel it coming
            Eb
I feel it coming babe

                       Gm
You are not the single type
                         Cm
So baby this the perfect time
                           Ab
I'm just trying to get you high
                   Eb
And faded off this touch
                        Gm
You don't need a lonely night
                      Cm
So baby I can make it right
                       Ab
You just got to let me try
                      Eb
To give you what you want

                      Cm
You've been scared of love
                Gm
And what it did to you
                  Fm
You don't have to run
                        Eb
I know what you've been through
              Cm
Just a simple touch
               Gm
And it can set you free
                 Fm
We don't have to rush
                  Eb
When you're alone with me

            Gm
I feel it coming
            Cm
I feel it coming babe
            Ab
I feel it coming

Harmony analysis

The Weeknd – I Feel It Coming (Daft Punk): key and chord analysis

The song opens on Gm and ends on Eb. Its chords belong to both Eb major and Cm, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

Eb major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

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

Minor view

C minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

  • b6 = Ab (the minor's melancholy)
  • b7 = Bb (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Eb major side because it comes to rest on Eb. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from C minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Eb or to Cm; 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 Eb major and its relative C minor (3 flats). 5 different chords appear 44 times in total; 5 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

  1. Ab Eb EbIV → Iplagal cadence CmVI → III ×7
  2. Gm Cm Ebiii → vi Cmv → inatural-minor cadence ×7

The move to watch is Ab → Eb, heard 7 times. From the Eb side it reads IV → I (plagal cadence: the soft 'amen' ending); from the Cm side it is VI → III. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

  • Eb major pentatonic and C minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Eb – F – G – Bb – C): start from Eb for a brighter phrase, from C for a bluesier one.
  • Over Gm, land on G, Bb, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
  • Over Cm, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
  • Over Eb, land on Eb, G, Bb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song on the circle of fifths

  • Played in the song — chord of the key
  • Played — the minor's harmonic V or a secondary dominant
  • Played — borrowed or outside chord

    The song's harmonic story

    Starting on Gm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Gm, Cm, Eb, Ab carry the song: iii–vi–I–IV relative to Eb, v–i–III–VI relative to Cm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Ab → Eb (IV → I in Eb, VI → III in Cm): plagal cadence — the soft 'amen' ending. Ending on Eb, the song seals Eb 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.
