stuck on

Can't stop thinking

Stuck on means fixated or unable to move past something.

You can be stuck on a problem you can't solve, stuck on a question in a test, or stuck on a particular step in a process.

The phrase also describes romantic infatuation: He's really stuck on her.

In both cases, there's an inability to detach or proceed.
