The use of English in various types of art products are song, poetry, and poem. A song is a short piece of music with words that are sung. The words in a song are called lyrics that may consist of an intro, verses, choruses, bridges and a coda. A song is written by authors or composers based on their feelings and experiences. It contains of figurative language which is used by authors to deliver ideas, thinking, and authors’ opinions forward literature. Figurative language is the language that has more than one meaning.

They were anaphora, oxymoron, simile, hyperbole, repetition, symbol, apostrophe, personification, and onomatopoeia. The most dominant used figurative language in One Direction’s song lyrics was hyperbole. There were sixteen figurative languages of hyperbole as the most dominant. And the second prominent was anaphora which were eleven figurative

Based on the conclusion, the researcher would like to offer some suggestion. The first is for students, if the students take songs not only simply for the pleasure of singing but also must able to go beyond it through analyzing in order to be able to get the meaning from songs. The second suggestion goes to English teachers.
