Why is my computer not authorized

every time I try and play a song on my Apple Music in the music app on my MacBook it says “your computer is not authorized. You must authorize this computer from the account menu before you can download previous purchases” I tried looking up different things and trying different things and nothing has worked. I’ve tried to authorize from my computer, my phone, I’ve tried messing with the settings. Nothings Worked and it’s getting pretty annoying because I can’t find any articles helping me.
