In a song, if the key signature and the root (resting note) are the same, it's in the major key. Minor keys have key signatures that correspond to major keys, for example the A minor and C major key signatures are the same. If there are no sharps or flats, you might think the song is in C (the major), but if the song rests on A and has A chords, then the song will be in the minor.
