This This research explores the motivational messages contained in Andra Day’s song Rise Up and how these messages are interpreted by future teachers in the English Education Department at UIN Ar-Raniry. Using a qualitative descriptive method with lyric analysis, focus group discussions, and reflective journals, the study reveals three key insights. First, the song emphasizes perseverance and resilience, reminding students to continue despite academic fatigue or challenges. Second, it highlights hope and optimism, encouraging them to see difficulties as opportunities to move forward step by step. Third, it fosters a sense of social support and professional responsibility, strengthening their identity as future teachers. Overall, the study shows that Rise Up is not only a musical work but also a meaningful reminder to persevere, to stand again after challenges, and to take the next step in academic and professional journeys.
