Can anyone help me figure out why I find this song so gripping?

I don't really like the song, but something about the singer's voice really gets to me. Feels almost like the precursor to a panic attack. I really wanna figure out what exactly makes me feel that way - if it's the voice editing, the rhythmic delivery, the melody, or something else? All the above?

Edit: Song's name is Happyface by ALASKALASKA

I don't know nearly enough about music to answer well. I just can hear the elements that seem to contribute to what your describing: the lilt of her voice, the rapid beat, and the other sort of warped dissonant sound. I like the song
- Yes, lilt is a really good word. I'm also wondering if she's doing some voice breaking?
  
  I had to look up what means. Yeah I'd say she's doing that
yw! It's fun to try and put words to what we hear. I was hoping that someone would pipe in with some formal terms lol
- Me too, we need some music theory maestros in here!
