The '''I–V–vi–IV progression''' is a common [[chord progression]] popular across several [[music genre]]s. It uses the [[Tonic (music)|I]], [[Dominant (music)|V]], [[submediant|vi]], and [[subdominant|IV]] chords of the [[diatonic scale]]. For example, in the key of [[C major]], this progression would be C–G–Am–F.<ref name="Bennett">Bennett, Dan (2008). ''The Total Rock Bassist'', p. 63. {{ISBN|978-0739052693}}</ref> Rotations include:
* I–V–vi–IV:{{spaces|en}}C–G–Am–F
* V–vi–IV–I:{{spaces|en}}G–Am–F–C
* vi–IV–I–V:{{spaces|en}}Am–F–C–G
* IV–I–V–vi:{{spaces|en}}F–C–G–Am
The [['50s progression]] uses the same chords but in a different order (I–vi–IV–V), no matter the starting point.

==Variations==
A common ordering of the progression, "vi–IV–I–V", was dubbed the "'''sensitive female chord progression'''" by ''[[Boston Globe]]'' columnist Marc Hirsh.<ref name="Hirsh">Hirsh, Marc. [https://web.archive.org/web/20100113080032/http://www.boston.com/ae/music/articles/2008/12/31/striking_a_chord/ "Striking a Chord"], ''The Boston Globe'', December 31, 2008.</ref>  In [[C major]] this would be Am–F–C–G, [[Modulation (music)|modulating]] the key to [[A minor]].

Hirsh first noticed the chord progression in the song "[[One of Us (Joan Osborne song)|One of Us]]" by [[Joan Osborne]],<ref name="Here and Now">[https://web.archive.org/web/20100715000000*/http://www.hereandnow.org/shows/2009/03/rundown-34/ Rundown 3/4: "Sensitive Female Chord Progression"], ''Here and Now'', March 4, 2009, wbur.org.</ref> and then other songs.  He named the progression because he claimed it was used by many performers of the [[Lilith Fair]] in the late 1990s.<ref name="Hirsh" /> However, examples of the progression appeared in pop hits as early as the 1950s, such as in [[the Teddy Bears]]' "[[To Know Him Is to Love Him]]", written by [[Phil Spector]].<ref name="teddy" />

Dan Bennett claims the progression is also called the "pop-punk progression" because of its frequent use in [[pop punk]].<ref name="Bennett" />

In this ordering, the progression ends with a double plagal cadence in the key of the dominant (in the Mixolydian mode) and could also be respelled ii–bVII–IV–I, opening with a [[Backdoor progression|backdoor turnaround]].

The chord progression is also used in the form '''IV–I–V–vi''', as in songs such as "[[Umbrella (song)|Umbrella]]" by [[Rihanna]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0058137_D1|title=Unsupported Browser or Operating System|date=15 June 2007 |publisher=Musicnotes.com|access-date=2013-10-20}}{{subscription required}} Gbmaj7, Db(add2)/Ab, Fm7, Bbm9.</ref> and "[[Down (Jay Sean song)|Down]]" by [[Jay Sean]].<ref name="auto">"[http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtdFPE.asp?ppn=MN0106385& Down]", MusicNotes.com. {{subscription required}}</ref> Numerous [[bro-country]] songs followed the chord progression, as demonstrated by Greg Todd's mash-up of several bro-country songs in an early 2015 video.<ref name="sixsongssametune">{{cite web |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2015/01/14/country-music-mash-up-luke-bryan-blake-shelton-florida-georgia-line/21751561/ |title=Six songs, same tune? Mashup shows country music's similarities |first=Brian |last=Mansfield |newspaper=[[USA Today]]}}</ref>

It is also common to substitute the [[supertonic]] (ii) for the [[submediant]] (vi) resulting in the similar sounding I-V-ii-IV. This is present in such songs as the Cure's [[Just Like Heaven (The Cure song)|Just Like Heaven]],<ref>''The Cure: Greatest Hits'' (songbook). Hal Leonard, 2002. {{ISBN|0-634-04667-5}}, pp. 58–63</ref> Taylor Swift's [[Getaway Car (Taylor Swift song)|Getaway Car]], Semisonic's [[Closing Time (Semisonic song)|Closing Time]] and Smash Mouth's [[All Star (song)|All Star]].

A 2008 medley by the comedy group [[the Axis of Awesome]], called "[[The Axis of Awesome#"Four Chords"|Four Chords]]", demonstrated the ubiquity of the progression in popular music, for comic effect; for instance, as the progression is played as an [[ostinato]], sometimes it is used as a vi–IV–I–V (i. e. the "pessimistic" inversion). It does not accurately represent the chord progressions of all the songs it depicts. It was originally written in [[D major]] (thus the progression being D major, A major, B minor, G major) and performed live in the key of [[E major]] (thus using the chords E major, B major, C♯ minor, and A major). The song was subsequently published on [[YouTube]].<ref name="Lynskey">{{cite news |first=Dorian |last=Lynskey |date=2010-12-17 |title=Don't Stop Believin': the power ballad that refused to die |work=[[The Guardian]] |page=3 (Film & music) |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/dec/16/dont-stop-believin-2010 |access-date=2011-02-19}}</ref> As of May 2020, the two most popular versions have been viewed over 100 million times combined.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pidokakU4I |title=4 Four Chord Song |publisher=[[YouTube]] |date=2009-12-10 |access-date=2017-12-27}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOlDewpCfZQ  |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211215/oOlDewpCfZQ |archive-date=2021-12-15 |url-status=live|title=4 Chords |publisher=[[YouTube]] |date=2011-07-20 |access-date=2017-12-27}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

The British [[progressive rock]] band [[Porcupine Tree]] made a song called "[[Four Chords That Made a Million|Four Chords That Made A Million]]" that appears to be a satire{{According to whom|date=May 2022}} of the broad use of this progression in [[contemporary commercial music]].

==I–V–{{music|b}}VII–IV==

<!--this section is linked to directly from [[Subtonic]], [[Lay Lady Lay]] and [[List of chord progressions]] and redirected directly from [[I–V–bVII–IV progression]] and [[I–IV–bVII–IV progression]]-->
[[File:Chromatic descending 5-6 sequence.png|thumb|I–V–{{music|b}}VII–IV in A {{audio|Chromatic descending 5-6 sequence.mid|Play}}]]

'''I–V–{{music|b}}VII–IV''' may be viewed as a variation of I–V–vi–IV, replacing the [[submediant]] with the [[subtonic]]. It consists of two IV chord progressions, the second a whole step lower (A–E–G–D = I–V in A and I–V in G), giving it a sort of harmonic drive. There are few keys in which one may play the progression with open chords on the guitar, so it is often portrayed with [[barre chord]]s ("Lay Lady Lay"). The use of the flattened seventh may lend this progression a [[blues]]y feel or sound, and the whole tone descent may be reminiscent of the ninth and tenth chords of the twelve bar blues (V–IV). The progression also makes possible a chromatic descent across a minor third: <math>\hat 8</math>–{{music|sharp}}<math>\hat 7</math>–{{music|natural}}<math>\hat 7</math>–<math>\hat 6</math>.

[[File:I-IV-bVII-IV chord progression.png|thumb|I–IV–{{music|b}}VII–IV {{audio|I-IV-bVII-IV chord progression.mid|Play}}]]

"[[(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman]]" by [[Carole King]] makes prominent use of this progression in its verses.  "Lay Lady Lay"<ref name=lll>Toft, Robert (2010). ''Hits and Misses'', p.58. Bloomsbury. {{ISBN|9781441116857}}</ref> uses the similar progression I–iii–{{music|b}}VII–ii; the second and fourth chords are replaced by the relative minor while preserving the same <math>\hat 8</math>–{{music|sharp}}<math>\hat 7</math>–{{music|natural}}<math>\hat 7</math>–<math>\hat 6</math> descent. This progression is used in other songs including "[[Turning Japanese]]" (1980) by [[the Vapors]], "[[Sample in a Jar]]" (1994) by Phish (I–iii–{{music|b}}VII–IV), "[[Waterfalls (TLC song)|Waterfalls]]" (1995) by TLC,<ref>Hurwitz, Tobias; ed. (2006). ''The Total Rock Guitarist'', p.39. Alfred Music. {{ISBN|9780739038505}}</ref> and [[Don't Tell Me (Madonna song)|"Don't Tell Me"]] (2000) by Madonna. "[[Cinnamon Girl]]" (1969) by [[Neil Young]] uses I–v–{{music|b}}VII–IV (all in Mixolydian).<ref>Serna, Desi (2013). ''Fretboard Theory Volume II'', p.20. Desi Serna. {{ISBN|9780615818979}}</ref> It opens the verse to "[[The Fame|Brown Eyes]]" by [[Lady Gaga]], is used in the chorus to "[[Rio (song)|Rio]]" (1982) by [[Duran Duran]] and "[[Sugar Hiccup]]" (1983) by the [[Cocteau Twins]], and is in the 2nd part of the bridge in "[[Sweet Jane]]" (1988) by the Cowboy Junkies.<ref>Lloyd, Peter (2014). ''The Secret Life of Chords'', p.97. Australian eBook. {{ISBN|9781925029765}}.</ref> John Maus uses a i-v-VII-iv in c minor for the verse of "Cop Killer". The progression is also used entirely with minor chords[i-v-vii-iv (g#, d#, f#, c#)] in the middle section of Chopin's etude op. 10 no. 12. However, using the same chord type (major or minor) on all four chords causes it to feel more like a sequence of descending fourths than a bona fide chord progression. '''I–IV–{{music|b}}VII–IV''' is a similar chord progression which is arch formed (I–IV–{{music|b}}VII–IV–I), and has been used in the chorus to "[[And She Was]]" (1985) by [[Talking Heads]],<ref>Everett, Walter (2008). ''Expression in Pop-Rock Music'', p.115. Routledge. {{ISBN|9780415979597}}.</ref> in "[[Let's Go Crazy]]" (1984) by [[Prince (musician)|Prince]],<ref>Till, Rupert (2010).

==Songs using the progression==
<!--

Songs ***must*** have an article on Wikipedia in order to be included. There are probably more songs based on this progression than there are hairs on your head, but we only are listing the ones that are notable enough to already have their own article.

The I–V–vi–IV progression ***must*** appear at least four times in a row in order for the song to appear here. This, for instance, disqualifies "Let It Go" from ''Frozen'', but not "Africa" by Toto, where the progression repeats indefinitely at the end of the song even though many other chords are played throughout.

And please, remember – Don't Stop Believin' does NOT qualify because it consists of an eight-chord progression that includes a iii chord.

Again, Don't Stop Believin' does NOT qualify because it consists of an eight-chord progression that includes a iii chord.
