I think it’s safe to say that all humans who can hear, enjoys music. Not everybody likes the same genre, but what is it about music in general that makes humans so drawn to it?

The most basic answer is: “We don’t know”.
On the level of genres, that’s learned. Your genre preference are typically tied to experience; what you remember fondly.
As for music in general tho, it’s a bit hazy.
But we know that a lot of animals like it, so it’s not specifically human, and we know children still respond positively to it, so it’s not an entirely learned behavior.
We just like orderly patterns of sound. It might be as simple as it being an enriching stimulus — like a puzzle — something interesting for your brain to chew on.
