Who knows…I guess it’s just a human thing. The same way birds sing to their mates to attract them, I think maybe humans did that in the past, so if you could sing you would seem more attractive to your partner maybe? That’s the only explanation I can think of.

Music
Canadian researchers have suggested that when we are moved by music our brains behave as if reacting to delicious food, psychoactive drugs, or money. According to Caribbean Sociologist, Corey Alexander Lane, “The reaction from music is based on the memory induced emotion that some songs create.”
The pleasure experience is driven by the chemical dopamine, which has been linked to addiction. It produces physical effects known as “chills” that cause changes in the skin’s electrical conductance, heart rate, breathing and temperature. The responses correlate with the degree to which people rate the “pleasurability” of music.
The new research has shown that dopamine release was greatest when listeners had a strong emotional response to music. “If music-induced emotional states can lead to dopamine release, as our findings indicate, it may begin to explain why musical experiences are so valued,” wrote the scientists.[12]
