    Hi, tabby1008!

     

    Thanks so much for using the Apple Support Communities! After reading your post, I am understanding that when you're listening to Apple Music, a single song keeps repeating instead of moving to the next track when it finishes. I wouldn't want to listen to the same song over and over when the Apple Music catalogue is so big, so I'm happy to help!

     

    First, check to make sure the 'repeat' feature isn't enabled. The following article gives some information on the 'repeat' feature, and what to look for.

    Use Apple Music in the Music app

    The "Shuffle and repeat your music" section provides this information:

     

    Shuffle or repeat your music

    Tap   at the bottom of the Now Playing screen to shuffle the songs in a playlist or album. You can also ask Siri to shuffle your music.

    Tap   once to play an entire playlist or album on repeat or twice to repeat one song.

    When active, the icon for repeat will be bold. If it is, just tap the icon to turn repeat off. The screen shot from this article will show you where those buttons are located: 



     

    If the repeat feature is off, try closing the Music app following the steps in the article below.

    Force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    Once the Music app is closed, tap the icon for it to open it again, and then try to play your songs. If the first one is still repeating, restart your device. Instructions on how can be found in the following article.

    Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

     

    Happy listening!
