Generate Songs with the I-IV-V-IV Progression

The I-IV-V-IV (I → IV → V → IV) is one of the most iconic chord progressions in popular music. A driving rock progression that returns to IV instead of resolving to I — keeps the energy moving. Driving, energetic, rocking.

It dominates Punk, Garage rock, Pop-punk and shows up across decades of hit songs. The reason is simple — the harmonic motion is satisfying, the resolution feels inevitable, and the progression supports countless melodic possibilities. Songwriters return to it because it works.
