This research, which is classified as qualitative descriptive, has research data in the form of song lyrics containing affixed words. The source of research data comes from ten songs in the album Manusia by Tulus. Data collection techniques were carried out in two ways, namely the free conversational listening technique and the note-taking technique. The research data were analyzed using the distribution method with the direct element sharing technique (BUL). The results of the study showed that the forms of inflection and derivation found in the song lyrics in the album Manusia by Tulus amounted to 15 affixes or affixes consisting of prefixes, infixes, suffixes, and confixes. Then in the inflectional form, nine affixes were found and in the derivation form, 14 affixes were found, each of which has a function.
