Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In music theory, a scale is any set of musical notes ordered by fundamental frequency or pitch. A scale ordered by increasing pitch is an ascending scale, and a scale ordered by decreasing pitch is a descending scale.

Detailed explanation-2: -But to go to the essence of your question, every song (for the most part) has a certain scale, basically everything you hear on the radio. There was a study on this on Spotify. Where 66.1% of songs accounted for a major scale, and 33.7% were minor.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most rock songs use pentatonic scales for leads and major or minor chords in a given key. It is entirely possible to work in notes and chords from major or minor scales in a song or solo, if you take care to resolve it back to the key of the song.
