They are background of the study, reasons for choosing the topic, statement of the problem, objectives of the study, significance of the study, limitation of the study, and outline of the study. 1.1 Background of the Study According to Awe (2003), the lyric of the song is a pithy arrangement of words. Song lyrics are someone's expression of something that has been seen, heard, or experienced. In expressing someone’s experience, the poet or songwriter plays words and language to create attraction and distinctiveness towards the lyrics or poetry. In general, the way someone writes song lyrics is like writing poetry, which the lines don't continue to the edge of the page. The text in song lyrics is a monologue, which means there is only one subject of the lyrics (the author) and rarely or even never involves another part to speak (Awe, 2003, p.48). There are many great singers
