This study aimed to investigate the deixis types used in BTS’ English song lyrics and find out the dominant type which was frequently used. Song lyrics were chosen as the focus of this study since they involved the singers’ feelings and emotions presented by some expressions related to human thoughts, ideas, and opinions. The theories from Levinson (1983) and Yule (1996) and were used to analyze the data. Descriptive qualitative in the form of document analysis was implemented in this study. The results found that there are five types of deixis found in the BTS’ song lyrics, namely 54.96% of person, 7.25% of place, 12.21% of time, 19.84% of discourse, and 5.72% of social deixis. Person deixis is mostly used in the song lyrics since it maintains the relationship or interaction between the singers and their audience or fans. Hopefully, this research can help the audience to solve their problems in understanding the types of deixis.
