Abstract

Love is one of those topics that has always been interesting to discuss from the past to the present because love is a powerful human feeling that can be conveyed literally and nonliterally. In this research, the writer analyzes love expression through the words used in Justin Bieber’s lyrics. This research aims to describe the types of love expressions and explain how the words are used to convey the feelings of love in the album Believe (2012). The writer uses the qualitative method. The writer presented the data in a descriptive paragraph. The data of this research were taken from Believe’s (2012) album which consists of 13 songs. The results of this study reveal that there are so many ways to express the feeling of love other than the word I love you, which people generally use to convey their feelings of love. The emotional expression of love is confirmed by 50 data.

Literal words of love expressions were identified in 34 out of 50 data. These include beautiful, love, baby, my girlfriend, my love, kiss, señorita, and ma chérie. Hyperbole is a figure of speech that is most widely used to express feelings of love in Justin Bieber's song lyrics. Besides that, the writer found 2 data of metaphor, 1 data of personification, and 3 data of simile. Keywords: basic emotions, love emotions, figurative languages
