On repeat
Significado: Playing a song or show over and over because you love it so much.
When something is 'on repeat,' you're listening to or watching it obsessively. Originally from the repeat button on CD and MP3 players, it now describes any content consumed over and over. Streaming apps even create 'On Repeat' playlists based on your most-played tracks.
