Which Part of a Song Hooks You First?

In a world where everyone skips songs after four seconds, one listener dares to press play and wait. Coming this summer, from the studio that brought you shower karaoke and three hour road trip playlists, a story about the moment a song grabs you by the collar. Rated PG for loud singing in cars and mild crying in supermarkets.

Every listener has a trigger point. For some it's the very first sound, that crackle of vinyl or soft guitar strum that makes them turn the volume up before the singer has even breathed. For others nothing matters until the beat drops and the floor starts shaking. Many of us live for the chorus, the part we scream at weddings while getting half the words wrong. And a quieter group waits for one lyric so clever it gets written on a napkin and texted to a friend at midnight.

Fifteen questions about concerts, playlists, headphones and embarrassing car moments will reveal your hook. Are you The Intro Loyalist, The Bass Drop Devotee, The Chorus Belter or The Lyric Detective? Grab your headphones, press start and find out which second of a song owns you.
