Key Change 

A key change is when you change the key of a song (often at the last chorus of the song).

E.g. F# major to G# major is a key change.
So what's your favorite part of the song, Jim?
Oh, I love the key change at the last chorus. It gives you those chills.

Key Change 

An emotional crescendo in a situation. The point at which everything seems to kick off.

Barry Manilow Key Change 

Multiple key changes in any sappy song used for dramatics and to manipulate emotions - an art especially exploited by Barry Manilow.
My choir director shouted out to us while we were singing, "Get ready for the Barry Manilow key change!"

An Irish phrase meaning shit, derived from ass
(Not to be confused with the literal description of one's buttocks)
"Did you hear the song Aylek$ dropped?"
"Hardly. Her music is absolute cheeks."

"My boyfriend say LaFlame is cheeks."
"Tell your boyfriend I said it's his mixtape that's cheeks."
