Is the song like major or minor?

To determine whether a song is in a major or minor key, listen for the overall mood and sound of the music. Here are some characteristics that can help you identify the key:

Major key:

- Bright and cheerful sound

- Uplifting and energetic mood

- Uses major chords, which have a happy and positive feel

- The third, sixth, and seventh notes of the scale are raised by half steps

Minor key:

- Dark and melancholic sound

- Sad or somber mood

- Uses minor chords, which have a sad and emotional feel

- The third, sixth, and seventh notes of the scale are lowered by half steps

Remember that there are exceptions to these general rules, and some songs may blend major and minor elements or use other techniques to create a unique sound.
