This study aims to explore the perceptions of students at SMA Muhammadiyah 4 Porong regarding the use of English songs as a tool for vocabulary learning. This qualitative research collected data through observations and interviews. The findings revealed that teachers applied a structured teaching strategy, beginning with the introduction of objectives and key vocabulary, followed by listening activities and completing song lyrics, and concluding with discussions on word meanings and sentence construction. These activities actively engaged students and created an interactive learning environment. Based on the interview results, students perceived vocabulary learning through songs as more enjoyable, and motivating. Songs also enhanced students’ pronunciation, listening skills, and speaking confidence. Challenges such as difficult accents or unclear lyrics were manageable with teacher support. Therefore, the use of songs has proven to be effective in enriching vocabulary learning both linguistically, affectively, and socially.
