Is It Just Me? : Why is this song on repeat in my head?

View descriptionShare
 

Ever had a song pop into your head and then refuse to leave? Why do some tunes become earworms while others don't — and why can a single hook or chorus keep playing on repeat?

On Is It Just Me?, Lynlee Foo and producer Alexandra Parada find out what makes a song stick with Dr Tim Byron, Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Wollongong. They look at the role of repetition, listening habits and musical familiarity, and some surprisingly unusual ways to get an unwanted earworm out of your head.
