Example: when listening to music on headphones, the vocal is usually in the center, inside your head, whereas instruments sound like they’re outside your head on both sides, even though the volume is the same in both channels.

So here’s a ton of things that could be going on but basically if you have 1 song it’s composed of different tracks. Essentially one track per instrument; there is a vocal track, guitar track, piano track, etc. If a track playing on both speakers it sounds like it’s coming from the middle, like the vocals. Then you can “pan” the tracks of the instruments so they come out of just the left or right speaker. Like maybe I have 2 different guitars one to the left and one to the right. So even though they are at the same volume things can be panned around differently
