How to play Personal: key, chords and progression

To play Personal by HRVY, think in A♭ major (four flats: B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭). It takes 8 chords: Cm, Ab, Fm, Eb, Db, C, Bbm and Em.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Eb – Ab – Fm – Db (V – I – vi – IV in A♭ major). In solfa, that is soh – doh – lah – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 1st fret and play the shapes Bm, G, Em, D, C, B, Am, Ebm (63% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 25% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
