Key signature and scale
B♭ minor has 5 flats (B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭, G♭). The B♭ minor scale is B♭ – C – D♭ – E♭ – F – G♭ – A♭. It sounds the same as A♯ minor, which is written with 7 sharps.
Its relative major is D♭ major: same signature, same chords, a different home chord. Next to it on the circle of fifths are F minor (one more sharp or one less flat) and D♯ minor (one more flat or one less sharp); songs often move to these keys.
