How to play Mans Not Hot: key, chords and progression
Mans Not Hot by Big Shaq is centred on B♭ minor (five flats: B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭, G♭). The song uses 3 chords: Fm, Bbm and Cm.
The backbone of the song is Fm – Bbm – Cm – Fm (v – i – ii – v in B♭ minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 1st fret and play the shapes Em, Am, Bm (67% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
