Learn pronunciation
To get a good Arabic accent, you not only have to listen to the songs, but you also have to pay attention to how the words are pronounced.
In songs, the accent is usually a little different. However, the pronunciation of consonants and vowels is usually well marked. Contrary to what happens with the cinema, listening to music we can concentrate only on what we receive through our auditory sense.

Work on oral and written comprehension
And those who say that they work on hearing, also say that they work on understanding Arabic.
Both on the written and on the oral level, it is essential that we understand our interlocutors well.
If you go on a trip to Algeria, Morocco or Egypt, you will have to do your best to understand what they tell you. Sometimes it is not a question of a lack of vocabulary, but simply a general comprehension problem.
Arabic speakers are not going to speak to you like the learning CDs that usually come with textbooks, so we must be able to understand Arabic in a more natural setting.
