Purchased an album on iTunes, one song won't play!

This is a PC. I've used this computer for years as the iTunes computer, no other computer manages my account. Every time I try to play the song it asks me to authorize this computer. I "authorize" it and then it tells me it's already authorized. I don't get it!!! The rest of the album plays no problem.

Repeated requests to authorize an already authorized computer for recent store downloads typically indicates you have corrupt or incomplete copies. Delete the tracks that won't play from your library without hiding from your purchase history. Redownload using the cloud links that should remain, or close iTunes and reopen if they don't show up straight away. While downloading click the activity widget and turn off the option that allows for simultaneous downloads.
