Why does music make us happy?

Research had already shown that the happiness produced by musical stimuli was very similar to the feeling you have when trying certain drugs, because basically listening to a song that we really like our brain releases dopamine, the hormone responsible for causing feelings of well-being and that is also achieved when we eat something rich, like chocolate, or having sex. Wait, I'm not going to change the music because of that! ... I mean chocolate, of course 😛 In this way, the dopamine that is released in our body acts in such a way that makes us get excited, exalt and, therefore, enter a state of continuous happiness, which like food, drugs and sex becomes addictive and it makes us want more and more. That's why many people can spend a lot of time each day listening to our favorite music, even in the bathroom.
