pop hooks
Sticky song fragments
Pop hooks are the catchy, memorable melodic or lyrical phrases in popular music that grab listeners and stick in their heads.
A hook might be a chorus melody, a guitar riff, or a repeated line—anything designed to make a song instantly recognizable and hard to forget: The song's pop hooks had me humming it for days.
