I understand that it’s a chemical response, but why does our body hear an assembly of notes and go “ooOh that’s my jam! Here’s some of the good stuff” like how do certian tones benift us?

I think we evolved to like music because hearing it back in the day meant safety and security alongside your tribe and/or social bonding. The same reason why you sleep better when it’s raining, because the sound of the rain means that there will be no predators out, so you can get better sleep, thus evolving this way.
