The song I am analyzing is Dirty Little Secret by the All-American Rejects. The key of the song is B Flat major. The chords consist of G, D, Em, C, Am, B, and F. The Roman numerals for this chords, in that order are vi, iii, iv, ii, vii, I, and V. Something that is strange about this song is the fourth chord, the E, is made minor, where in the expected pattern of major and minor chords, it is major. The song does not make much use of dominant chords, and only really uses predominant ones. The only dominant chords are F and B, which only show up once in one of the prechoruses, and at the conclusion of the song. Also, the majority of the chords in the song are minor. Nothing else in the song really sticks out as being unusual.
