English songs have become an engaging and effective medium for learning English, offering benefits in vocabulary retention, listening comprehension, and pronunciation practice. This study explores students’ perceptions of using English songs in English language learning through a qualitative descriptive approach. Five ninth-grade students from MTS NWDI Darul Muttaqin participated in semi-structured interviews, sharing their experiences and opinions on learning with songs. The findings show that students perceive English songs positively, as they make lessons more enjoyable, relaxed, and motivating. Singing along with songs helps students memorize vocabulary, practice pronunciation, and improve listening skills in a natural and interactive way.
