So you hear a particular song for the first time and you don't really like it, but then you keep hearing it around you (radio, TV, friends ringtone) again and again and again. And before you know it you start to like it. Did it ever happened to you?? And with what songs?? For me it happened several times, last time with Lady Gaga- Alejandro.

🤣 🤣 it happens all the time.
The last time is Nobody - Wonder girls.
But I hated it after hearing that song (sb set it as his/her ringtone & forgot silent mode) during the exam. 🤣 Everyone in exam hall had to listen to it more than once, before that damn mobile shut up.
That is the first time I'm happy with my cheap pink Motorola mobile which cannot even used to store music & hardly received any calls from anyone. 🤣 (pathetic but at least not annoying 😛 )
Of course it happens.
There are some songs that just need to be listened to a few times before you realise that actually, it's a decent song and you like it.
I can't remember examples from the top of my head, but it's a big list that's for sure.

it happens with anime openings -.- like the first fairy tail opening, rozen maiden opening and tsukiyomi moon phase. But "normal" music doesn´t affect me if i dislike it since i always have in my mind that i don´t like i so i hate it even more. It has the opposite effect

It would probably work but unfortunately it's like every station is a one-song Katy Perry oriented station now... 😔

It happened to me with Pokerface. I hated that song for a long time, but since it was EVERYWHERE, I ended up having to like it. Also, with Boom Boom Pow.
I dunno. I just didnt like them :/ Eventually they grew on me, and now I actually listen to them 😛

No.
I find repetition causes it to become even more irritating.

Gah, no 😢
I used to visit the gym almost every day, for years. They played the same five songs over and over for about a year at a time.
It made me get really irritated by repeats of annoying songs.

It never happened to me to start liking a music I disliked at first just be hearing it a lot, liking a music I disliked only happens with years
But it happens all the time for me to start really liking a music I didn't care about(didn't like nor dislike) the first times I heard it
examples......smile like you mean it - the killers

Totally happened to me:
We had to watch some kiddie movie about space and every 2 seconds there were these annoying kiddy voices going 'Phases of the moon'. I was indifferent about it at first (whilst everyone groaned) but then I got super super mad at that musical phrase. My friend keeps reminding me about so I can't get the tune out of my head... And the phases of the moon stuff.
Oh yes, there is another song. Some song with Usher and another famous singer (female) singing a duet. It was at night, I was TRYING to sleep and some neighbours kept replaying the song over and over and over... I can't remember the song name though... Except that it was annoying.
Simply another normal human being...

I don't dislike lady gaga, but i wasnt into her song alejandro.. but yea it kept playing around and i started humming to it. I dont listen to it willingly though, i dont like it but it stuck in my head so I ended up thinking on how the song goes and humming to it.
