<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; font-size: 14px;">Time signature: (1 over 4 beats per bar) <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; font-size: 14px;">1 <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; font-size: 14px;">4 <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; font-size: 14px;">The tempo used throughout the song flashlight is slow. <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; font-size: 14px;">The tempo does change throughout the song as the chorus starts to pick up the tempo becomes faster and louder.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; font-size: 14px;">http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/ I choose the second viewing and the chords in verse 1 have a different pattern to the chords on Verse 2 and the chorus. Verse 1 is longer than verse 2. Verse 1 goes Bb, C, F, Dm, C, F, Bb and Verse 2 goes Bb, C, F, Bb, so Verse 1 and verse 2 have the same chords except verse 1 has one extra chord and that is Dm. Though the pattern functions in a different order. The chorus, chords go F, C, Dm, Bb, F, C, Dm, Bb, F, C, Dm, Bb. The chorus chords play in a pattern throughout the song, however the chorus and verse 1 have the same chords just played at different times and a different order of pattern.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; font-size: 14px;">I think that the flashlight song by Jessie J is a major (happy sounding) as it has a soft happy feel to it especially as it gets towards the ending as the music and words gives you a brighter feel.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; font-size: 14px;">Jessie J sings the whole way through so i believe their is no backup vocals.
