Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a lyric video-based icebreaking strategy in enhancing the learning motivation of 9th-grade students at SMPN 31 Kota Tangerang. An interdisciplinary approach was employed, integrating theories from education, music, neuroscience, Homo Ludens philosophy, and psychology. A questionnaire was administered to 100 students, with dominant responses falling under ^Agree^ and ^Strongly Agree.^ The results indicate that this strategy successfully creates an enjoyable learning atmosphere, increases focus, and strengthens student engagement. This article also discusses the theoretical and practical implications of this approach within the context of Indonesian education.
