Watch skipping songs

Hi. My Apple Watch will play 1 song through my Bluetooth earphones then it will skip around 5 songs and then plays another song then the whole thing goes off.

A light in the background of the watch is flickering when it’s skipping.

Any info on this?

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 7
