There is something called the mere exposure effect, and it basically means that when something is familiar to us we like it more

I've actively observed this in myself many times. Even for music. Makes me wonder sometimes if I like a song because I like it or because I'm familiar with it

It doesn't go into your memory unless you absolutely love it, hate it or have to memorize it for some important reason.
