Ever got goosebumps from a song? Here’s why it happens
- Getting goosebumps from music is called frisson, a physical response to intense emotions.
- About 50% of people experience musical chills such as shivers, goosebumps or a lump in the throat.
- Unexpected changes in music, like a key change or crescendo, can trigger the brain’s surprise response.
- The initial tension can turn into pleasure when the brain realises there is no danger, releasing dopamine.
