Imagine your brain is like a party, when you hear a song you love, it throws a big celebration. It uses special parts called the reward system that make you feel happy and excited. That’s why music can bring back memories or even calm you down.
Examples
- A child loves a song because it makes her laugh every time she hears it.
- An old man smiles when he hears his wife’s favorite song from the 1970s.
- A teenager feels calm when listening to music that plays in their head during exams.
