With more and more stress from various aspects in society, the combination of lyrics and
spitches becomes much more important to people’s lives; music gives people the healing from
several sides so that they are all unique works from every singer. The influence of music

Perreo Sola’ is just one work which motivated people to dance freely. However, if you watch the
music video, you will realize the hidden meaning of the song is for the freedom of women and
