For me it does, people say that apparently it isn’t good because it fills up your brain and doesn’t allow you to focus, well for me personally it does work 
I focus far better when I have music. What about you guys?

Sometimes it does sometimes it doesnt-
Like if i’m drawing i put music on so i don’t feel demotivated to draw lmao
But if im doing hw or some schoolwork i just can’t focus on it and i’ll start focusing on the lyrics of the song and i’ll get distractedd 
I always get distracted when music is on. I can’t work diligently with music 
That’s what my professor in drawing class always says but I still listen too music 
And it depends! If I’m studying and need to be very focused I can’t listen to music, it’s a huge distraction plus my attention span is…
But when I’m doing something else it doesn’t really help me concentrate. I guess it actually depends on me and if I want to let music distract me or make me more focused
That might be the case when I’m painting because I really get into it if I’m listening to something!

i never listen to songs, I just sing- and it focuses and relaxes me
It depends. Music actually helps me concentrate sometimes. My attention span has decreased a lot because of online class, and sometimes I find it hard to concentrate when the environment is too quiet.
Sometimes music can help me focus, if it’s appropriate to the story. For instance, while I was writing an Agent Carter script, I listened to Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller music to keep me In The Mood. (ha!)
I did an unintentional writing marathon once because I had a loop of movie soundtrack music going and it kept me so much in the story, I looked up and it was now the middle of the night and my neck was incredibly stiff from being stuck in that position for so long. (It was a combination of the soundtracks to “Unbreakable” and “The Sixth Sense” which blended seamlessly together, and there were occasional jump scares in the music which would startle me and give me a shot of adrenaline to continue.) I think I wrote 18 pages in one night, a personal record.
Random songs or listening to the radio is too distracting. It has to be a playlist, and mostly instrumental at that. I get too focused on the music and not enough on the story.
Sometimes I can procrastinate for hours compiling playlists, so there’s that too.
I wished it work for me…
I’ll eventually end up singing along with the music
@OmgItzVolly Just mentioned you so you can maybe reply here. 
Nope, not at all. Whenever I listen to music while doing things I get distracted with wanting to immerse in the song.
Music helps the time pass doing jobs or exercise. It keeps the time. I also found that in some activities music can boos my thoughts since so many emotions come from the music @phlegmatic
That’s good!
Noo, not for me. Music does the opposite. When I’m listening to music while doing my work, I’m either not in full focus or not focused at all because I’m listening to the music, or if I am focused, i actually completely tune out the music and forget that it’s there. I can’t pay attention to two things at a time, especially while reading. Maybe when I’m doing other tasks that dont require me to read, but it doesn’t change or help my focus in a good way

No, not at all Especially if the music has lyrics, I only focus on them and forget about everything else that I wanted to do. If it’s just instrumental music, it sometimes helps me with writing stories but I’m definitely not concentrated 
It’s funny that music rather distracts me than helps me concentrate because if people talk around me, it doesn’t affect my concentration at all. It’s just music that makes me not focus on what I should be doing
