growing on
Gradually winning over
Growing on describes a gradual process of becoming more appealing through repeated exposure.
Something that grows on you didn't attract you at first but wins you over with time: I hated the song initially, but it's growing on me.
The construction almost always uses a pronoun—growing on me, growing on her—and implies the shift happens despite initial resistance or indifference.
