This study examines the use of code switching in the song lyrics of G.A.C, a renowned Indonesian music group. The writer used qualitative research that analysed the data in the form of descriptive words. The data was collected from GAC songs through the lens of Romaine's theory for the types of code switching and the functions outlined by Bloom and Gumperz theory. By analysing G.A.C.'s lyrics, this research identifies the types of code switching, including intra-sentential, inter-sentential, and tag switching, as per Romaine's classification. The study discovered 5 data points of inter-sentential code switching (29.42%), 8 data points of Intra-sentential code switching (47.06%), and 4 data points of Tag switching (23.53%).
