What is this called in English music terms?tonicisation？ or outside？

Does BIAB have an automatic function to help us choose more chords? Like a suggestion.

I find it quite interesting that you found and like that progression.

The first part is I IV V I, which is very conventional and is part of that common popular set of progressions using I IV V vi that I mentioned elsewhere (the Am is the vi).

The second half starts on a III, which is slightly unusual, but not very unusual (You will often see a III7 used), and the progression from it is III vi ii V and back to I. That III vi ii V I (or 3 6m 2m 5 1 if you prefer) is a stacked pair of ii V (or 2 5) movements around the circle of fifths, resolving to the I. That is the "moving key centres" that I also mentioned.

You might try a slight change and see if it also sounds nice to you.

C F G C E7 Am Dm G7 and back to the C.
