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 8 times while Db never appears 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). 5 different chords appear 28 times in total; 4 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 Gb → Ab, heard 6 times. From the Bbm side it is VI → VII (VI → VII: the rising step that heads for the tonic); from the Db side it reads IV → V (IV → V: the lift that builds tension before home). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
Starting on Bbm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Gb, Bbm, Ab, Fm carry the song: IV–vi–V–iii relative to Db, VI–i–VII–v relative to Bbm. 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 Gb → Ab (IV → V in Db, VI → VII in Bbm): VI → VII — the rising step that heads for the tonic. Ending on Ab, the song seals Db as home.
