    There are various other ways to force a song out of your head, like engaging in an activity that requires focused attention (like when solving a difficult problem, a puzzle or Sudoku), and according to a study published in 2015 by the School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences at the University of Reading, chewing gum can also help to make a stuck song go away.

    Listen to another song - the louder, the better.
