Based on thematic analysis of the interview results, it was revealed that regularly listening to English songs helps learners acquire vocabulary by reinforcing familiar words, improving comprehension through context, and boosting motivation thanks to their interest in the lyrics and artists. Additionally, many respondents stated that they frequently looked up new words and interpreted the meaning of lyrics, which contributed to their learning. In summary, the practice of listening to English music on Spotify acts as an informal yet valuable method for enriching vocabulary among Generation Z, emphasizing music’s role as a supportive medium in language education.
