Love these chord choices! I'm curious why you called it #IV rather than bV, does this song mainly use a sharp 4 note rather than a regular 4?

Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the tritone can be considered a bV (or diminished 5th), but my reasoning for calling it a sharp 4 is that when modding the scale (minor), you sharp the 4 while the 5 still remains in the scale. Also, It's easier for me to read it as [I, II, bIII, #IV, V, bVI, bVII] than [I, ii, bIII, bV, V, bVI, bVII] as we have a distinguished number for each interval (rather than displaying 2 Vs we read the intervals in succession as IV, V).

I see, thanks for the explanation!

Sure! Actually, I think it might be more practical to look at the mod from the C major scale as sharping the 4 creates the Lydian mode (I'm not sure if the scale I made from sharping the 4 in the minor scale is an actual scale, but if it is, it's definitely not as well known as the Lydian mode).
