This study focused on the perceptions of the use of different types of songs on Korean EFL students in language learning. For this study, two other variables, proficiency and gender, were also examined. In the study, 197 undergraduate students took part. All participants were taking an English course at a university in Korea. The three types of songs-pop songs, children’s songs, and movie songs-were used in class for nine weeks in 2019. A perception survey about stress, confidence, and interest in EFL learning was carried out. A one-way ANOVA was utilized to compare the participants’ perceptions and learning through the three different types of songs. Findings revealed significant difference between children’s songs and pop songs regarding stress. There were also significant differences in confidence and interest depending on proficiency levels. Participants’ gender also affected stress levels during the use of songs for English learning. This study shed light on the use of songs in the EFL context with a more comprehensive view of students’ reactions and preferences towards the different types of songs. Limitations of the study were suggested at the end of the paper.
