How to play Up All Night: key, chords and progression

Up All Night by Khalid is in the key of B♭ minor (five flats: B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭, G♭). The song uses 4 chords: F#, C#, G# and A#m.

The progression the song keeps returning to is F# – C# – G# – A#m (VI – III – VII – i in B♭ minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 6th fret and play the shapes C, G, D, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
