I’m not sure how to explain it, every chord that has a 7 in it (which I’m still not sure what it means) sound the same, in a kind of way. Again, im not sure how to articulate it correctly. If anyone can help, I’d appreciate it!

Certain chord progressions just naturally “go together”. In the key of G, the “other” chords in the progression are C and D (and Em).
A 7th chord is often used in music to “turn the corner” from the root chord, to the III chord five semitones higher than the root: G – G7 – C has us hearing the G note, adding F in the G7, and finally the E – which is the major third note of the C chord. It’s a familiar “walking down” of first two semitones, then one semitone, and that turning the corner sounds pretty much the same regardless of what key you are in.
