How Stuff Works said, for many people, bathing time is the only time they are alone in the day. The bathroom is a small, safe and warm space that can create a sense of comfort, helping them relieve stress. When people relax, the brain releases dopamine to re-start creative activity, causing many people to feel like singing.

When singing, we have to breathe deeper. At that time, the concentration of oxygen in the blood increases and the blood circulates better, the body relaxes and cleanses the mind similar to meditation. Besides, people will temporarily not think about problems, stress in life, help reduce stress.

Each individual will feel better singing while in the bathroom because this is the same space as the miniature sound system. Bathroom tiles do not absorb sound, so the voice will reverberate and spread throughout the room before fading away. The sound reflections make the effect soft, and even make the voice seem stronger.
