Analysis
The key pair is Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 5 different chords appear 63 times in total; 1 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. F acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
Chord movement
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.

- Over Dm, land on D, F, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over F, land on F, A, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

Starting on Dm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. Bb, Dm, F, Gm carry the song: II–#iv–V/ii–vii relative to Ab, IV–#vi–V/iv–ii relative to Fm. F adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/ii — leads to Bbm. The final chord is Dm; the ear comes to rest in Ab.
