In theory, the researcher wishes to develop theoretical knowledge of literature and linguistics related to semantics and importance of songs. Practically, this research is useful as a reference for readers who will carry out similar research, especially in terms of linguistics and semantics, especially in songs lyrics. This research is included in the type of literary criticism, because the writer interprets and analyzes a literary work, especially songs.

The results of this study shows that the most dominant semantics type present in this song is the affected type, followed by conceptual type and the least is social type, which is non-existent in the song.
