There are 8 selected songs from Riz Ahmed have been selected which entitled Immigrants, Where You From, The Break Up, Any Day, T5 or Terminal Five, Can I Live, Promise, and Englishtan. The researcher selected 8 songs because the songs contain many figurative language. The researcher chose Riz Ahmed's songs than others because his songs tell about humanity and society; his songs are relevant to social issues such as issues of identity, discrimination, racism and injustice, and Riz Ahmed's songs also contain many figurative language that can convey imaginative messages and deep emotions. The researcher uses Laurence Perrine's theory to find the kinds of figurative language and semantic theory to analyse the meaning of figurative language. The data in this study are analysed using a descriptive qualitative method. The researcher found 29 different data of figurative language in the 8 songs from Riz Ahmed that have been selected. The figurative language that was found are 3 metaphors, 11 similes, 6 personifications, 1 metonymy, 1 synecdoche, 1 symbols, 2 paradox, 2 hyperboles, and 3 ironies. First, the researcher classifies the kinds of figurative language that appear. The researcher analysed or described the meaning of every figurative language that was found. Based on the study's findings, it can be said that similes are the most dominant figurative language. The researcher suggests that the following researchers who are also interested in this study use other figurative language theories and objects, such as poems and speech that contain more figurative language.
