<![CDATA[This study examines the types of similes in the lyrics of "Heather" using Fromilhague's theory (1995) and the meaning in the lyrics of "Heather" using Hurford and Heasley's theory (2004). This study aims to find the kinds of similes contained in "Heather" and also describe them to the readers in order to get a clearer insight more deeply. Miles, Huberman, and Saldana's data analysis model was used by the researchers (2014). Researchers discovered two data from the lyrics of Conan Gray's song - Heather that are included in implicit similes and two data that are included in explicit similes.
