To gradually become more liked or appealing to someone, especially after an initially neutral or negative impression.

Question 2

How do you use "grow on" in a sentence?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

Is "grow on" formal or informal?

Accepted Answer

"grow on" is register-neutral — appropriate in both casual and formal contexts. Almost always used in the pattern 'it grows on you' or 'she/he grew on me.' The subject is the thing or person becoming more appealing — not the person experiencing the change. Very natural in everyday speech about music, food, people, and places.
