The article examines the song as the most popular mass literary and musical genre during the war years. The songs are categorised according to the time of creation, pathos, and themes. The authors point out that after February 24, 2022, the song became a popular genre, which could be explained by such features of the genre as its mass character, mobility, power of influence, motivational potential, and reliance on folklore traditions. The analysis of the textual material established that the lyrical hero of the songs is more often the defender of the Motherland, the songs express a wide range of emotions, but on the whole, the heroic pathos prevails. It has been established that journalistic qualities are the main characteristic of most of the songs, which is explained by the need to respond quickly to current events, which affects their artistic level and, in some cases, leads their authors to use obscene language. The songs that combine a high level of literary and musical text with a high-quality, mostly professional, performance get the highest number of views
