Let's talk about our favorite chord progressions or chords and where we have heard them.

The intro has the following progression: A E / F#m E / D B / E (2x) > D / Dm / C#m Cm / B7

This precedes a line cliche chorus: line cliche of F#m, E, D#m, D

Then we have a bridge with a jazzy twist: F#m / E / D#m7 / Dadd9, E7add6/D

It took me multiple listens to constrict the bridge chords namely due to that last chord. I didn't hear an F or an F# but it was definitely over D, so that was my best guess based on E's relationship with the tonic, which I believe is F# in F# minor. A couple of intriguing points:

1: The V/VII in the intro to a dance hit? Mesmerizing.

2: The diminished sounding bridge with the VII7 adds some spice to the track.
