Abstract

Feminism and women's experiences in unfair relationships are the main topics of Paris Paloma's song called "Labour." By using feminist stylistics and feminist critical discourse analysis theory established by Sara Mills to analyze the meaning of feminism and gender power relations in the song. Applying qualitative descriptive techniques, song lyrics were examined at the word, phrase, and discourse levels as the main data. The results of the research indicate that men are positioned as the dominating party, while women are portrayed as the group responsible for emotional, household, and reproductive tasks. The song's language challenges listeners to consider patriarchal traditions, gender injustice, and double standards, which are still happening nowadays.
