  • Features a characteristic descending sequence of major 7th chords (Bbmaj7, Abmaj7, Gbmaj7) that often precede related ii-V progressions.
  • Employs multiple ii-V progressions that sequentially target diatonic chords within F major, specifically vi (Em7-A7), V (Dm7-G7), and IV (Cm7-F7).
  • The prominent use of bIVmaj7, bVImaj7, and bVIImaj7 provides rich modal color and temporary harmonic shifts, characteristic of bossa nova.
