Great job on your answer! Just a slight correction on the second part to make it clearer. Keep up the good work!
I believe that singing is a powerful tool for improving well-being and bringing joy to individuals and those around them. Singing releases endorphins and oxytocin, which promote feeling of happiness and reduce stress. It allows people to express emotion that they may have difficulty expressing in words.
I think sometime singing isn’t about music, but a sense of community and belonging that can lead to deeper emotional connections and shared happiness.

Yes, definitely. Singing can have a powerful impact on our mood because it releases endorphins, the so-called “feel-good” hormones, which help reduce stress and boost overall happiness. For example, when people sing in situations like a traffic jam, it can help them stay calm and even make the experience more enjoyable. In a way, singing becomes a form of emotional release—it allows people to express themselves and momentarily escape from their worries. Whether someone sings alone or with others, it can create a sense of joy, connection, and even relaxation.
