Many modern people often face such a problem as "earworm".

This is what a song that gets stuck in your head is called.

A person mentally plays a melody and does this over and over again.

A song stuck in your head prevents you from working, studying, and performing various small actions.

Unfortunately, many tracks turn into "earworms". First of all, we are talking about simple compositions with an easy-to-remember melody.
