Hey there Cappygirl72,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand you’re having issues playing a specific song on Apple Music. We’ll be happy to help.


We just tested this and had no issues playing the song. To verify, is this music in your library? If so, try removing from your library and playing again. It looks like there may be a few version of the album, so try another version and see if this helps.


If that doesn’t work, download the song to your device and see if works as expected once you do this. 


Other steps that may help include force closing Music and restarting your iPhone:

Making sure iOS is up to date:


Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch 


Then access the song from a different network.


We hope this helps.


Take care.
