People Are Only Just Realising Why Songs Get Stuck In Your Head

The catchiest tunes all share one sneaky little ingredient.

That tune stuck on loop in your brain isn't random, it's engineered to burrow in and stay.

Earworms tend to be simple, repetitive, and have a little melodic hiccup that your mind wants to finish.

Because it never quite resolves, your brain keeps replaying it trying to close the loop. Sneaky.

Want it gone? Chew gum or hum a different song. Weird, but people swear it actually works.
