Abstract

This research has two main objectives: (1) to analyze the moral messages conveyed by Maroon 5 in their songs using critical discourse analysis, and (2) to explore the hidden meanings behind these moral messages. The study adopts a Descriptive Qualitative research design and applies Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis approach. The research subject includes the lyrics of Maroon 5 songs from the albums released between 2012 and 2021, specifically ‘Overexposed,’ ‘V,’ ‘Red Pill Blues,’ and ‘Jordi.’ The focus is on identifying and interpreting the moral messages embedded in these lyrics. Data collection was conducted through observation and document analysis, and the data were analyzed using Miles & Huberman’s framework, which involves three stages: (a) data reduction, (b) data presentation, and (c) conclusion drawing. The study revealed 40 moral messages in Maroon 5’s songs from the selected period. These moral messages were categorized into three groups: (a) human relations with oneself, (b) human relations with the social environment or others, and (c) human relations with God. These categories reflect the broad range of moral themes Maroon 5 addresses in their music, spanning personal, social, and spiritual dimensions. Keywords: Moral Message, Critical Discourse Analysis, Songs, Lyrics
