Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Ab major side because it comes to rest on Ab and Ab is heard 16 times while Fm never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from F minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Ab or to Fm; 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 Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 4 different chords appear 36 times in total; 2 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. G acts as a secondary dominant, 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.
The first chord is G; the ear learns where home is within a second. G, Ab, Cm, Bb carry the song: V/iii–I–iii–II relative to Ab, V/v–III–v–IV relative to Fm. G adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/iii — leads to Cm. Ending on Ab, the song seals Ab as home.
