Today, Indonesian music world is having a rapid growth in many aspects, for  example the genre and the technique of making a song which are used by the song writer. The development of those aspects makes Indonesian music become more various. The variety of Indonesian music is also supported by the creativity of song writers who are able to make a good song, including bilingual song which is using mixing and switching technique. One of bilingual song writers who use this technique is Melly Goeslaw because she wrote many beautiful songs which are well accepted by the listener. Here the writer is interested in conducting a study about code mixing and code switching in Melly Goeslaw’s song. The writer conducts a study entitled “ Code Mixing and Code Switching Used in Melly Goeslaw’s Songs” because the writer finds that Melly Goeslaw mixes and switches the language used in many of her songs. There are two problems that need to be analyzed, they are: (1) what are the types of code switching used in M elly Goeslaw’s songs? (2) What are the effects of code mixing and code switching used in Melly Goeslaw’s songs toward the listeners’ interest in music? In this study, the writer uses qualitative approach. The type of research is textual analysis, since the writer analyzes the song lyrics made by Melly Goeslaw and the answer  of questionnaire from the participant of the research. The methods are interview and questionnaire. This study reveals that there are three (3) types of code switching used by Melly Goeslaw in her songs, namely inter-sentential code switching, intra-sentential code switching and lexical borrowing. After analyzing the result of the questionnaire, the writer  concluded that the use of code mixing and code switching has an effect toward the listener  interest in music. After listening to bilingual song, the listeners prefer to listen bilingual song than monolingual song because it is more interesting and sounds different from monolingual song. The writer suggests for the next r esearcher to conduct a study about code mixing and code switching in other objects like novel, movie script or conversation of bilingual or  multilingual people.
