Yeah. Of course, "Call Me Maybe" sticks to the tonic a lot in the verses. Kudos to 1D for jamming it through the whole song and making it work!

"Call Me Maybe" only hits the tonic right after the chorus & before the verses start, actually. otherwise it's IV-V the whole way through.

I don't hear any V chord in the verse. Sounds to me basically like an alternation between IV and I with a vi chord thrown in before the IV

Sorry, didn't finish that post. Try again.
I don't hear any V chord in the verse. Sounds to me basically like an alternation between IV and I with a vi chord thrown in before the IV the second and fourth time through.

(I LOVE the use of the tonic chord as that stuttering accent preceding both the IV and V chords in the chorus of "Call Me Maybe," by the way.)
