The use of songs in English learning has become a popular phenomenon. This study investigates students' perceptions of using English songs as a tool to enhance speaking skills on four aspects as stated by Brown (2001) namely pronunciation, fluency, accuracy, and vocabulary, and to determine which aspect that most influenced. Conducted with 35 students from class XI.10 at SMA N 2 Ungaran, selected with convenience sampling technique. This study employs a qualitative case study approach, utilizing observations and questionnaires with 16 question items to gather data. The findings show high agreement among students: 93% for pronunciation, 94.75% for fluency, 88.5% for accuracy, and 94% for vocabulary. Fluency emerged as the most influenced aspect. Additionally, observations indicated that English songs significantly increased students' motivation and encouraged more frequent, natural English speaking, thereby improving their overall speaking ability.
