Morphology

ultrapop + song

Although 'ultrapop' is not listed in the dictionary, the phrase is transparently compositional: ultra- (extremely) + pop (popular/pop music) + song yields an ‘extremely pop’ or very catchy/popular song. This follows regular English compounding and prefixation patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would readily infer the intended meaning.

Etymology

Ultrapop song comes from ultra meaning 'very' or 'extreme' and pop short for 'popular music', so imagine a song turned up to the highest level with very simple words and a repeating tune that sticks in your head. That's why it means 'a pop song that is extremely catchy and widely appealing'.
