Q: I have had a Kacey Musgraves song stuck in my head for two weeks and it\u2019s making me crazy. Why is this happening?<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, some reassurance: You\u2019re not alone. Research suggests that catchy songs that get lodged in your head \u2014 colloquially known as earworms \u2014 are common, and can happen to people weekly<\/a> or even daily<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people wander around with music in their head kind of constantly,\u201d said Ira Hyman, a psychologist who studies the phenomenon at Western Washington University in Washington State.<\/p>\n

Scientists don\u2019t fully understand why earworms are so hard to shake. But certain songs are more likely than others to set up shop in our heads<\/a>. And the propensity to catch them can depend on what you\u2019ve recently listened to and what you\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
