Copyright question for my novel?

Okay, so I'm working on my novel, and one of my main characters is very talented at singing and playing piano. So at one part of the book I want her to perform "Good enough" by evanescence because it fits the mood of that part. So she'll be playing piano and I'll write snippets of the lyrics. Obviously in the book she's going to say the name of the song and who its by, I'm not pretending she or I wrote it, but is her saying "I'll be playing 'Good enough" by Evanescence" enough? Do I have to cite the song or something?
 
I wouldn't advise putting the songs of a band like Evanescence in a novel, but that's just me. It will really just look like you're projecting your own favorite music into your character, and make your character look more like a self-insert.
