You should have gotten an error because @song is not declared.

The first time through the loop $i is assigned the string:
'Freda Payne - In motion.mp3'
The substitution operator converts that to:
'Freda_Payne_-_In_motion.mp3'
And then after the split() @song contains:
( 'Freda_Payne_', '_In_motion.mp3' )
The loop iterates through each file name in turn until finally $i is assigned:
'George Benson & A. Franklin - Love All The Hurt Away.mp3'
Then after the substitution and split @song contains:
( 'George_Benson_&_A._Franklin_', '_Love_All_The_Hurt_Away.mp3' )

At this point @song will contain the author and title from the last entry in
@ARGV.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my @authors;
my @titles;


for my $file ( @ARGV ) {
    $file =~ tr/ /_/;

    my ( $author, $title ) = split /-/, $file;

    push @authors, $author;
    push @titles, $title;
    }
