Why do songs get stuck in our head?
In: Biology
Especially when it’s a newer-to-you song, when familiarity starts to begin, your brain is literally *begging* for it… parts of the song it knows is coming up has already built some memory and neurons are already making those connections… but at the same time it’s still kinda new, so you get the best of both worlds… a combination of dopamine and serotonin from equal parts of anticipation of the unknown and nostalgia of what you already know
It is bliss! Enjoy!!
Unless it’s like waking up with “Feliz navidad” in your head like super randomly… then I have no answer for you lol
