The sample consisted of 17 students chosen at random using the incidental sampling technique. The questionnaire and vocabulary test were used to collect data in this study. The questionnaire was used to collect information on students’ listening habits to English music, while the assessments were used to obtain information about students’ vocabulary competence. The researcher utilized Kendall’s tau b in the IBM SPSS Statistics 25 program for Windows to analyze the data. The study’s findings revealed a substantial association between students’ listening habits to English music and their vocabulary competence. Furthermore, there is a positive link with a moderate level of significance. As a result, pupils’ habit of listening to English music contributes to their vocabulary mastery.
