The study delves into the representation of the "American Dream" in popular songs, emphasizing its connection to the "rags-to-riches" myth that motivates migration to the U.S. It analyzes various interpretations of this concept through song lyrics, exploring how they reflect attitudes toward the dream. The paper also investigates why California, particularly the American West Coast, is often associated with the "American Dream," providing insights into cultural perceptions and the allure of this ideal in music.
