One Kiss Backing Tracks | Chord Analysis
Above, you’ll find two backing tracks for playing One Kiss. I’ve used AI to extract the chords while preserving the drums, bass, and vocals. The second track excludes the vocals too.
In some countries, the first video (with vocals) is blocked due to copyright restrictions.

Chord Progressions – What’s Going On?
Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa‘s One Kiss is built around a single chord progression, which is as follows:
| Am (III) | Bbmaj7 (IV) |
| Fmaj7 (I) | Fmaj7 (I) G7omit3 (II) Am (III) |
The key to getting this right lies in the smallest details. For instance, getting the inversions spot on is essential—if you don’t, it won’t sound like One Kiss‘s chords; it will simply sound like any other set of chords. To achieve this, you’ll need the correct TAB.
Here’s a link to the TAB lesson: One Kiss – Guitar Lesson with TAB.
Bridge
The bridge is nearly identical—see if you can spot the difference:
| Am (III) | Bb (IV) | Fmaj7 (I) |
| 1.3 Fmaj7 (I) G7omit3 (II) Am (III) :||
| 2. Fmaj7 (I) G7omit3 (II) |
The chorus tag repeats the same chords, but there’s a nice little lick in there—again, TAB will guide you through it.
Breakdown
Finally, in the breakdown section, the chords change. These continue as the bridge lyrics return. Here are the new chords:
||: F (I) | G7omit3 (II) | Am (III) | Am (III) Bb (IV) :||
After playing along with Dua and working through the TAB, this chord chart will serve as a useful reminder when you’re ready to perform – it’s the same as you find in the backing track videos above.

You should try this part using other chord shapes before you settle on a part, experiment as you practise with the backing tracks by maintaining the rhythm, but changing the shapes.
Dua Lipa’s signature song
Released in 2018 under Calvin Harris’s name, One Kiss featured Dua Lipa, which helped her reach a much larger audience, thanks to Calvin’s established reputation.
Before One Kiss, Dua Lipa had released a self-titled debut album in 2017, but it didn’t produce any significant hits.
However, once One Kiss became a massive success, her follow-up album, Future Nostalgia (2020), was embraced by a much bigger crowd.
Though this wasn’t a guaranteed recipe for success, it certainly gave her a strong platform to build on. Fortunately, she delivered with hits like Don’t Start Now and Levitating.
For bands playing more modern dance material, One Kiss has become a staple on setlists, always guaranteed to get a great reaction from the younger crowd.
