"Slow Down" by Philip Lawrence is a good example of this

The progression goes

B7-E7-A7-D7-C7 (with the first 3 chords having a full bar, the fourth chord having 3 beats, and the last chords having 1 beat)

I hear it as being in B, even though B is never tonicized (although I guess you could argue C7 is a tritone sub for F#7, the preceding chord isn't C#m7)
