The participants in this study were 121 students and data collection was carried out by questionnaire. The results showed that students' perceptions of the advantages of using English songs as a learning resource for extensive listening received a positive response from the participants. This is based on the participant's responses in the aspects of Motivation, Listening Comprehension, Vocabulary and Grammar, Pronunciation, Cultural Awareness, Memory Retention, Multi-sensory Learning, Speaking Confidence, and Cross-Cultural Relationships so that English songs can be a suitable English language learning tool used for students, especially in listening skills. However, there are several challenges for participants to learn listening through English songs including their difficulty understanding the lyrics due to the speed of tempo, pronunciation, and limited vocabulary they have. Poetic language, singers' accents, and different music preferences are also a challenge for participants. It implied that the use of English songs in listening learning is a suitable method that can improve English skills for EFL learners. On the other hand, this study can motivate educators to better understand what EFL learners need.
