True — with caveats.
Evidence from several studies shows that singing, especially group singing, is associated with increases in peripheral oxytocin and with greater feelings of social bonding and trust. However, results are mixed and limited by measurement issues (saliva/plasma oxytocin may not reflect brain oxytocin, assay variability), small samples, and context dependence (group vs solo, type of singing, relationships among participants). Singing also reliably raises endorphins and lowers cortisol, which contribute to social bonding and wellbeing.
So: singing can increase oxytocin in many contexts, but it's not an absolute or universally proven effect in all situations.
