jamming out
Lost in music
Jamming out is enthusiastically enjoying music, usually with visible physical engagement—dancing, singing along, or playing air guitar.
The phrase suggests unselfconscious abandon: I was jamming out to old disco hits in my car.
It derives from jam in its musical sense of improvising or playing together, extended to any spirited response to music.
