Hey YukaiseanTaiwa,

Do you have Dark Mode set to "Automatic" on your iPhone? You can check by going to Settings > Display & Brightness. Use Dark Mode on your iPhone and iPad - Apple Support

If so, this would explain why Apple Music will occasionally adopt a dark background.

Take care.

The background changes to black if your phone is overheating. I believe its a performance update Apple introduced so that older products don’t overheat.
